contents Given a group G acting on a geodesic metric space, we consider a preferred collection of paths of the space -- a path system -- and study the spectrum of relative exponential growth rates and quotient exponential growth rates of the infinite index subgroups of G which are quasi-convex with respect to this path system. If G contains a constricting element with respect to the same path system, we are able to determine when the first kind of growth rates are strictly smaller than the growth rate of G, and when the second kind of growth rates coincide with the growth rate of G. Examples of applications include relatively hyperbolic groups, CAT(0) groups and hierarchically hyperbolic groups containing a Morse element.
