# Time-between and tag-based throttles

Previously, you could have a single global limit for how many guides or surveys could be shown to a user per day/week/month/session. Now, you can also configure how much time has to pass before a new guide is shown. Additionally, you can add tag-based throttles that limit the number of guides or surveys with a specific tag that can be displayed within a specified period.

### Time-between and tag-based throttles

Thomas Kainrad

**Description:** Previously, you could have a single global limit for how many guides or surveys could be shown to a user per day/week/month/session. Now, you can also configure how much time has to pass before a new guide is shown. Additionally, you can add tag-based throttles that limit the number of guides or surveys with a specific tag that can be displayed within a specified period.

**Why:** We want guides and surveys to be non-annoying, and this resonates very well with our customers, who frequently ask for more fine-grained throttling capabilities.

**Where:** Click on the *gear* icon to open the settings drawer on the guides or surveys index page

**Available in EU:** Yes

**When:** GA (existing throttling plan limits apply)
