If you have other more targeted segments receiving notifications recently, you may not want your users to be targeted by more generic campaigns directed at this segment. Appending the "Last Received Push Campaign" filter to this segment, the user has ensured that if they've received another notification in the past 24 hours, they will slide out of this segment for the next 24 hours. If they still meet the other criteria of the segment 24 hours later and haven't received any more notifications they will slide back into the segment.

Appending this filter to all segments targeted by campaigns would cause your users to receive a maximum of one push every 24 hours. You could then prioritize your messaging by ensuring that your most important messages are delivered before less important messages.

#### Setting a maximum user cap

In the **Target Users** step of your campaign composition, you can also limit the total number of users that will receive your message. This serves as a check that's independent of your campaign filters, allowing you to freely segment users without worrying about over-spamming.

By selecting the maximum user limit, you can limit the rate at which your users receive notifications on a per-channel basis or globally across all message types.

Note that non-rate-limited campaigns may exceed these delivery limits. However, be aware that messages will be aborted if they’re delayed 72 hours or more due to a low rate limit. If the rate limit is too low, the creator of the campaign will receive alerts in the dashboard and by email.

As another example, if you are trying to send out 75,000 messages with a 10,000-per-minute rate limit, the delivery will be spread out over 8 minutes. Your campaign will deliver no more than 10,000 messages for each of the first seven minutes, and 5,000 over the last minute.

Different channels within a multichannel campaign will individually count the frequency cap. For instance, if you create a multichannel campaign with both push and email and have frequency capping set up for both of those channels, then the push will count toward one push campaign and the email message will count toward one email message campaign. The campaign will also count toward one "campaign of any type." If users are capped to one push and one email campaign per day and a user receives this multichannel campaign, then they will no longer be eligible for push or email campaigns for the rest of the day (unless a campaign ignores frequency capping rules).

In this example, your user will not receive more than one push notification campaign or Canvas components with the tag "promotional" in a given week, because you've specified that users should not receive more than one push notification campaign or Canvas component from all campaigns and Canvas components. In other words, the most restrictive applicable frequency rule is the rule that will be applied to a given user.
