Sorry, I may misunderstand here. from the variable names:
- max_uni_stream_id: is a stream_id
- max_stream_ids_uni: should be a stream_id counter.

max_uni_stream_id = quic_stream_id_to_streams(max_stream_ids_uni);
max_stream_ids_uni = quic_stream_streams_to_id(max_uni_stream_id)

I used max_uni_stream_id, as in most places it's used to check against
stream_id.

Thanks.
