# Incident management rate limits **(ULTIMATE SELF)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/17859) in GitLab 12.5.
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`.
## Set a limit on inbound alerts
To set inbound incident management alert limits:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Network**.
1. Expand **Incident Management Limits**.
1. Select the **Enable Incident Management inbound alert limit** checkbox.
1. Optional. Input a custom value for **Maximum requests per project per rate limit period**. Default is 3600.
1. Optional. Input a custom value for **Rate limit period**. Default is 3600 seconds.
