This ensures a client cannot have two active bookings concurrently, preventing double-bookings.
			* The '''Same Day''' option prevents a client from booking a new service if they already have any active booking on the same calendar day. This limits a client to one booking per day, regardless of the time or duration of the appointment.
			* The '''Same Week''' option prevents a client from booking a new service if they already have any active booking within the same calendar week. This limits a client to one booking per week, regardless of the specific day or time.
			* The '''Custom Period''' option prevents a client from booking new services for a specified duration both before and after their existing bookings. For instance, if a client has a booking from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and the restriction is 2 hours, they won't be able to make new reservations between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM on that day. This helps manage booking frequency and ensures adequate spacing between appointments.

This Custom Feature allows you to restrict booking quantity which can be booked at the same time. This Custom Feature is useful when your services require additional things like dental chair or room in the studio etc. (Another way to restrict the number of bookings due to the limted resources is to use [[Special:MyLanguage/Related_Resources_custom_feature|Related Resources]] feature instead). When the booking limit is reached the corresponding time interval will looks like breaktime at the booking page (and in the admin interface if you haven't set to skip this restrictions for admin). It is possible to limit booking number at the same time generally, and also you can set certain limit for each service separately.
 
 
<pre>For example, you have 2 providers and 1 room and both of your providers are available at 10.00.
Each of providers is set up to serve 1 person at a time and totally, 2 people can book service at 10.00.
But you need to limit that number to 1 person, because only 1 room is available.
You need to enable Limit Bookings Custom Feature and set it to 1.
In such way, when someone books 10.00, this time will be closed for another provider.</pre>
