Use the Limits page in the Tracer module to configure transaction spending caps and thresholds. Limits can be applied per transaction, daily, or monthly, and can be scoped to specific accounts, segments, or transaction types.

​
Accessing the Limits page

Select Limits in the left sidebar to open the Transaction Limits page. Expand the What is a Limit? panel at the top for a quick refresher on how limits enforce spending thresholds.

​
Filtering limits

Use the filter bar at the top of the page to narrow results:
FilterOptions
SearchSearch by name or account ID
StatusAll, Active, Inactive, Draft
PeriodAll Periods, Daily, Monthly, Per Transaction
Transaction TypeAll Types, Card, PIX, Wire, Crypto, ACH, Internal
A page-size selector alongside the filters controls how many items are loaded per page.

​
Limit cards

Limits are displayed as a grid of cards rather than a table. Each card shows the limit name, type, currency, maximum amount, status, and any configured scopes.

​
Limit statuses

StatusDescription
ActiveThe limit is being enforced on incoming transactions
InactiveThe limit exists but is not currently being enforced
DraftThe limit is being configured and is not yet active

​
Limit actions

Use the actions menu on each limit card to perform the following operations:
ActionDescription
DetailsOpen the limit detail sheet. The sheet is editable only when the limit is in Draft status
DeletePermanently delete the limit (requires confirmation)
ActivateMove the limit to active status
DeactivateMove the limit to inactive status
Move to DraftReturn the limit to draft status for editing. Only available when the limit is Inactive — deactivate an active limit first.
Deleting a limit is permanent and cannot be undone. The confirmation dialog reads: “You are about to permanently delete this limit. This action cannot be undone. Do you wish to continue?”

​

Scope builder

In the console, this section is labeled Scope and each entry is called a condition. The scope builder lets you restrict a limit to specific accounts, merchants, segments, or transaction types. You can add multiple conditions to a single limit.
