# Rate limits on note creation **(FREE SELF)**
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/53637) in GitLab 13.9.
This setting allows you to rate limit the requests to the note creation endpoint.
To change the note creation rate limit:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu >** **{admin}** **Admin**.
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Network**.
1. Expand **Notes Rate Limits**.
1. Under **Max requests per minute per user**, enter the new value.
1. Optional. Under **List of users to be excluded from the limit**, list users to be excluded fromt 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.
