# Configuring Usage Limits

> Set daily and monthly transfer caps for the Bank Transfer plugin.

The **Usage Limits** section lets you cap how much value the plugin can move in a given day or month. Use it to enforce operational guardrails — catch configuration mistakes, prevent runaway automations, and comply with internal risk policies.

The section header shows an **Enabled** or **Disabled** badge based on the toggle below.

## Accessing the section

***

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    In the Bank Transfer sidebar, click **Settings**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Expand Usage Limits">
    Click the section header to expand it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Fields

***

### Limits Enabled

Toggle that turns enforcement on or off. When disabled, the Daily and Monthly Limit fields remain editable but inactive — no cap is applied until the toggle is on.

### Daily Limit

The maximum total value of transfers allowed per day. Entered in regular currency units (for example, `100.00` for R\$ 100.00); the plugin stores it internally in cents. Editable only when limits are enabled.

### Monthly Limit

The maximum total value of transfers allowed per month, using the same input format as the daily limit. Editable only when limits are enabled.

## How limits are applied

***

When a transfer is initiated, the plugin checks the accumulated transfer value for the day and for the month against the configured caps. If either limit would be exceeded, the initiation is rejected before it reaches JD.

<Note>
  Limits apply to the total value of transfers initiated through the plugin. Inbound TED transfers (TED In) are received passively through the JD poller and do not count against these caps.
</Note>

## Saving changes

***

Click **Save** in the toolbar at the top of the page. Every change is recorded in the [Settings History](/en/rails/ted/console/bt-viewing-settings-history) tab. Monetary values are stored in cents internally; the history reflects that.

## Tips

***

* When rolling out the plugin, start with conservative limits and raise them gradually as you gain confidence in the flow.
* If a legitimate operation is blocked by a limit, raise the cap, wait for the save to register in the history, then retry the transfer. There is no way to retroactively bypass a cap for a single transfer without first adjusting the setting.
