Requesting a COS sponsorship for a Tier 2 UK visa, we meet all the requirements, are they ever denied based on quota?

If anyone has specific knowledge and/or experience with this, I would be grateful your input!

My business has recently received a status as a "qualifying company". We have US citizen we want to hire who meets all the requirements for an SOC 2136, and I have submitted a request for a COS about 3 weeks ago. I understand these COS' are issued once per month (I was told my application missed last months approval considerations by a few days, and are waiting for next month).

My Question:
Is there a monthly quota for the number of COS they can issue?
Might my request for a COS, which meets all the requirements for SOC 2136, be rejected for no other reason than the government meet a monthly quota?
And if yes, does my request go into the queue for next month?
