So, what is softlimit? why we use it?

The purpose of a softlimit is to set a limit, however that limit can be exceeded based on the quotetime, or grace period. Soft limits are important because they allow processes to continue even though a limit has been exceeded. Think of it as a early warning, because once the hardlimit, or grace period has been reached that's it.

example: 4GB quota for VPS 100
Remember that disk quota block size for OpenVZ is 1024 Bytes

vzctl set 100 --diskspace 4194304:4718592
(VPS 100 softlimit 4G, hardlimit 4.5G)

vzctl set 100 --quotatime 86400
(VPS 100 can exceed the softlimit for 1 day)

Look at the user guide again it's very good and explaining how quotas are used in OpenVZ.
