Why does Gatling still sends requests when scenario injection is on nothingFor?

So I have the following scenario: 

  setUp(scenario.inject(
    nothingFor(30 seconds), // 1
    rampUsers(10) during (30 seconds),
    nothingFor(1 minute),
    rampUsers(20) during (30 seconds)
  ).protocols(httpconf)).maxDuration(3 minutes)

I expected this scenario to start by doing nothing for 30 seconds, ramping up 10 users over 30 seconds, do nothing(pause) for a minute and finish by ramping up 20 users for 30 seconds.

But what I got is a 30 second pause, ramp up 10 users over 30 seconds, steady state of 10 users for a minute and then an additional ramp up of 20 users. (I ended up running 30 users)

enter image description here

What am I missing here?

it seems that your scenario never terminates? - bottaio

The injection profiles only specify when users start a scenario, not how long they're active for - that will be determined by how long it takes for a user to finish the scenario. So when you ramp 10 users over 30 seconds one user will start the scenario every 3 seconds, but they keep running until they finish (however long that is). I'm guessing your scenario takes more than a couple of minutes for a user to complete.
