# Send Limits and Quotas

> Control daily send limits, bypass rules, and queue expiration behavior.

Use send limits to protect recipients, avoid overload, and keep important messages moving.

MailerPath uses these values to decide how many emails a client can send in a given period and when queued items should expire.

## What you can control

* Daily email limit
* Critical bypass behavior
* Queue expiration window
* Custom quota overrides for specific plans

## Why these settings matter

* They help prevent accidental over-sending.
* They protect delivery reputation.
* They let critical transactional messages move when needed.
* They give admins a simple way to raise client limits when plans change.

## Recommended setup

1. Start with a conservative daily limit.
2. Keep critical bypass enabled for transactional sends.
3. Use queue expiration to avoid stale sends.
4. Increase overrides only when the client has a clear business need.

## Good operating habits

* Review limits before large campaign launches.
* Keep a record of any custom overrides.
* Adjust quotas when a client’s volume grows.
