# Incident management rate limits
DETAILS:
**Tier:** Ultimate
**Offering:** Self-managed
You can limit the number of inbound alerts for [incidents](../../operations/incident_management/incidents.md)
that can be created in a period of time. The inbound [incident management](../../operations/incident_management/index.md)
alert limit can help prevent overloading your incident responders by reducing the
number of alerts or duplicate issues.
As an example, if you set a limit of `10` requests every `60` seconds,
and `11` requests are sent to an [alert integration endpoint](../../operations/incident_management/integrations.md) within one minute,
the eleventh request is blocked. Access to the endpoint is allowed again after one minute.
This limit is:
- Applied independently per project.
- Not applied per IP address.
- Disabled by default.
Requests that exceed the limit are logged into `auth.log`.

1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select **Admin**.
