Probably you want "default" there as the first word on the last line.

The map has 5 Zs. Your example has 4 Zs.

But more interestingly: $client_id is not a standard nginx variable. How
is it being set; and what test are you running?

Presumably somewhere else in your config you have a "limit_req" directive,
so that you can see the delay between responses.
