When you reach the limit for multicast, all traffic (broadcast + unicast
too) will be dropped until the mcast traffic falls below the configured
level:

When the rate of multicast traffic exceeds a set threshold, all incoming
traffic (broadcast, multicast, and unicast) is dropped until the level
drops below the threshold level. Only spanning-tree packets are
forwarded. When broadcast and unicast thresholds are exceeded, traffic
is blocked for only the type of traffic that exceeded the threshold.
