MySQL maximum number of connections limit problem

Encounter a strange problem using commands to view the maximum number of connections

Show status like '%connect% ';

Max_used_connections and threads_connected have never been able to break through 101,

The default MySQL setting is 100 maximum connections of +1,

Has changed the max_connections=1000 why still can't exceed 100 limit?

With the command

Show variables like '%connect% ';

Check that the settings are set up ... Does it have to do with the MySQL version?
