# Rate limits on note creation **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/53637) in GitLab 13.9.
|
|
|
|
You can configure the per-user rate limit for requests to the note creation endpoint.
|
|
|
|
To change the note creation rate limit:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Network**.
|
|
1. Expand **Notes rate limit**.
|
|
1. In the **Maximum requests per minute** box, enter the new value.
|
|
1. Optional. In the **Users to exclude from the rate limit** box, list users allowed to exceed the limit.
|
|
1. Select **Save changes**.
|
|
|
|
This limit is:
|
|
|
|
- Applied independently per user.
|
|
- Not applied per IP address.
|
|
|
|
The default value is `300`.
|
|
|
|
Requests over the rate limit are logged into the `auth.log` file.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you set a limit of 300, requests using the
|
|
[Projects::NotesController#create](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/app/controllers/projects/notes_controller.rb)
|
|
action exceeding a rate of 300 per minute are blocked. Access to the endpoint is allowed after one minute.
