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.
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.

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:
PeriodWhat it counts
Per dayTotal confirmed bookings on a single calendar day
Per weekTotal confirmed bookings within a calendar week
Per monthTotal confirmed bookings within a calendar month
Per yearTotal 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.
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.

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.
