If your hotspot clients are connecting via a bridge/switch or another access point (that cannot be seen directly from the controller which may depend on the configuration and functionality of those devices), the hotspot controller may not see the mac addresses of the clients, rather that of the bridge. If you have it set to 1 and there are 10 clients behind another access point, only the first client will get an IP Address. A device can request more than one session (and IP address) for different purposes, sometimes productive, sometimes malicious. The default is usually fine for a single access point.
