# Limits

> Configure scheduling limits to optimize your availability and ensure smooth meeting management.

## Buffer Times

Set buffer times to create breathing room around your meetings:

**Buffer Time Before Event** - The amount of free time you need before each scheduled event (0-120 minutes)

**Buffer Time After Event** - The amount of free time you need after each scheduled event (0-120 minutes)

## Scheduling Notice

Control how much advance notice is required for bookings:

**Minimum Notice** - How much time should be added before the event starts (0-120 minutes, hours, or days)

**Time Slot Interval** - How much time should be between each time slot (5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, or 60 minutes)

## Booking Frequency Limits

Control how many bookings can be made for this event type within specific time periods:

**Daily Limits** - Set maximum bookings per day (1-120)

**Weekly Limits** - Set maximum bookings per week (1-120)

**Monthly Limits** - Set maximum bookings per month (1-120)

You can combine multiple limit types (e.g., max 5 per day AND max 20 per month) to create comprehensive booking controls.

## Booking Changes

Control whether invitees can modify their bookings after scheduling.

**Allow rescheduling** - Lets invitees reschedule this event type. You can optionally require a minimum notice period before rescheduling is allowed (e.g., at least 24 hours in advance).

**Allow cancellation** - Lets invitees cancel this event type. You can optionally require a minimum notice period before cancellation is allowed.

<Info>
  Hosts can always reschedule and cancel events regardless of these settings. Signed links for host actions are included in booking confirmation emails and in the dashboard.
