+# Rate limit on Members API **(FREE SELF)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/140633) in GitLab 16.9.
+
+You can configure the rate limit per group (or project) per user to the
+[delete members API](../../api/members.md#remove-a-member-from-a-group-or-project).
+
+To change the rate limit:
+
+1. On the left sidebar, at the bottom, select **Admin Area**.
+1. Select **Settings > Network**.
+1. Expand **Members API rate limit**.
+1. In the **Maximum requests per minute per group / project** text box, enter the new value.
+1. Select **Save changes**.
+
+The rate limit:
+
+- Applies per group or project per user.
+- Can be set to 0 to disable rate limiting.
+
+The default value of the rate limit is `60`.
+
+Requests over the rate limit are logged into the `auth.log` file.
+
+For example, if you set a limit of 60, requests sent to the
+[delete members API](../../api/members.md#remove-a-member-from-a-group-or-project) exceeding a rate of 300 per minute
+are blocked. Access to the endpoint is allowed after one minute.
