# New-PSURateLimit

## SYNOPSIS

Creates a new rate limit for the PowerShell Universal server.

## SYNTAX

```
New-PSURateLimit [-Name <String>] -Endpoint <String> -Period <TimeSpan> -Limit <Int32> [-ComputerName <String>]
 [-AppToken <String>] [-Credential <PSCredential>] [-UseDefaultCredentials] [-Integrated] [-TrustCertificate]
 [-Cookies] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

Creates a new rate limit for the PowerShell Universal server. Rate limits affect the entire server. You can limit the scope of the rate limit based on URLs.

Rate limit configurations are stored in .universal/rateLimits.ps1

You can also use this cmdlet to create rate limits through the REST API.

You can use Set-PSUSetting to configure allow lists for IPs, endpoints and computer names that are not affected by the rate limiting.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1

```powershell
New-PSURateLimit -Endpoint "/myEndpoint" -Period ([TimeSpan]::FromMinutes(10)) -Limit 100
```

Creates a new rate limit that prevents the user from calling the /myEndpoint endpoint more than 100 times in 10 minutes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell-universal/powershell-commands/new-psuratelimit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
