# Editing Payout Limits

***

Payout limits decide when a payout is auto-approved, held for approval, or rejected (see **Payout limits & approval** under Create Payout). They are **edited per project from the PayRam dashboard** — not via the API.

Open the project’s **Payout Limits** tab:

```
<https://yourdomain.com/settings/projects/{projectId}?tab=payoutConfig>
```

There you can set, per project:

| Setting                                | Effect                                                                                                                                                                               |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Auto-approve** (on/off) + **amount** | Payouts at or under the amount are auto-approved (<mark style="color:$warning;">`pending`</mark>); above it they are held (<mark style="color:$warning;">`pending-approval`</mark>). |
| **Daily limit**                        | Once a recipient’s payouts in this project for the day would exceed it, further payouts are held for approval.                                                                       |
| **Hourly limit**                       | Same as the daily limit, applied per hour.                                                                                                                                           |
| **Minimum amount**                     | Payouts below this are rejected outright.                                                                                                                                            |

Leaving a field blank makes the project **inherit the installation default**. The global minimum lives under **Settings → Withdrawal Limits**.
