# User-level booking limits

> Limit how many times you can be booked across all your event types using per-day, per-week, per-month, or per-year caps.

Booking frequency limits on individual event types let you cap how often a specific event can be booked. **User-level booking limits** go further — they apply a cap across every personal and team event type you host, so you can control your total meeting load in one place.

<Note>
  This setting is found in your **General** settings, not inside an individual event type. It applies to you as a host across all of your event types.
</Note>

<Info>
  User-level booking limits are available to members of a Cal.com organization. If you do not see the setting in **General**, check with your organization admin or review your plan.

### When to use it

* You want an overall cap on how many meetings you take per day, week, month, or year.
* You host multiple event types and want a single limit that covers all of them.
* You need to protect focused time without adjusting limits on every event type individually.

### How it works

When you enable user-level booking limits, Cal.com checks your total confirmed bookings for the chosen time period before showing a slot as available. If you have already reached your limit, the slot is removed from your booking page so no one can book you.

You can set limits for any combination of these periods:

| Period    | What it counts                                    |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Per day   | Total confirmed bookings on a single calendar day |
| Per week  | Total confirmed bookings within a calendar week   |
| Per month | Total confirmed bookings within a calendar month  |
| Per year  | Total confirmed bookings within a calendar year   |

Limits stack — if you set both a daily and a weekly limit, both are enforced. For example, you could allow up to 4 bookings per day but no more than 15 per week.

<Warning>
  Higher time-period limits must be greater than or equal to lower ones. For example, your weekly limit cannot be smaller than your daily limit.
</Warning>

### How to set it up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open General settings">
    Go to **Settings > General** in your Cal.com dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable booking limits">
    Find **Limit booking frequency** and toggle it on.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your limits">
    Choose one or more time periods (per day, per week, per month, per year) and set the maximum number of bookings for each.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Update** to apply your changes.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### How it differs from event-type booking limits

|                     | User-level booking limits     | Event-type booking limits           |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Scope**           | All your event types combined | One specific event type             |
| **Where to set it** | Settings > General            | Event type > Limits tab             |
| **What it caps**    | Your total bookings as a host | Bookings for that single event type |

Both limits are enforced simultaneously. If an event type allows 10 bookings per day but your user-level limit is 5 per day, you will not receive more than 5 bookings total.
