This is an Anti-Fraud/Spam Protection feature. It enables administrators to limit the number of bookings that can be made from the same email, phone, and IP address. The feature provides various options, such as setting the maximum number of bookings, defining the time period in which these bookings can be made, and the ability to block or flag suspected fraudulent activities. This feature helps to prevent fraudulent or spammy bookings and protects the system's integrity, ensuring a smooth and trustworthy booking experience for legitimate customers.
