It all depends on the version of Asterisk you are using. In Asterisk  
1.4, there's an option called "limitonpeers" that will
make sure that both incoming and outgoing calls are accounted for.

The subscription only checks the peer part of a SIP type=friend. With  
limitonpeers set, Asterisk only uses the peer
call counter for both incoming and outgoing calls.

In Asterisk 1.6.0 beta, there's an additional setting for setting a  
busy level, allowing for a few more calls while still
busy - in order to allow call transfers while on the phone.

In Asterisk SVN trunk the user object is removed and the problem  
doesn't exist any more.
