# Meeting limits

**Meeting limits** cap how many meetings can be booked with you in a day, a week, or a
month — across *all* your event types combined. They're your defense against a busy
day turning into an unbroken wall of calls. Set them from
[**Availability → Meeting Limits**](/360/availability?tab=limits).

## What it is

- A limit is a **period** (day / week / month) and a **maximum number of meetings**.
- You can set any combination — e.g. *max 5 per day* **and** *max 15 per week*.
- Limits count bookings across **every event type you host**. Once a period hits its
  cap, your booking pages stop offering slots in that period until a booking is
  canceled or the period rolls over.

## Meeting limits vs per-event-type limits — don't confuse them

There are two separate "limit" features:

| | Where | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| **Meeting limits** (this page) | Availability → Meeting Limits | **All your event types together** — your personal daily/weekly/monthly cap. |
| **Per-event-type limits** | The event type's *Limits & Buffers* tab — see [Duration, buffers, and limits](/help/event-types/duration-buffers-and-limits) | **One event type** — e.g. "no more than 3 *demos* a week" (other event types unaffected). |

Use meeting limits to protect your overall week; use per-event-type limits to ration a
specific kind of meeting.

## When to use it

- You'll take meetings most of the day, but never want more than N of them.
- You want a hard ceiling so back-to-back bookings can't pile up beyond what you can
  actually do well.

## Common pitfalls

- **"No slots" and you don't know why.** If a day or week has hit its meeting limit,
  every event type stops offering slots in that window — check Availability → Meeting
  Limits before assuming the schedule or calendar is the problem.
- **Expecting it to limit one event type.** Meeting limits are account-wide. To cap a
  single event type, use that event type's
  [per-event-type limits](/help/event-types/duration-buffers-and-limits) instead.
- **Round-robin counts too.** Bookings you take as a round-robin host count toward your
  personal meeting limits like any other meeting.
