# Claim limits

A claim limit keeps an artist or fulfiller to the work you hired them for: a voice actor claims only Bram's lines, or an image generator claims only portraits. A limited member can claim a request only if it matches one of their rules. Members without a limit can claim anything, as before. Claim limits come with the **Studio** and **Enterprise** plans.

## Set one

Admins open **Settings › Members** and choose **Limit claims…** on an artist's or fulfiller's row. Tools can be limited too.

Each rule is the same filter a reservation uses:

- **Kind**: Image, Audio, Model, Video or Text, or **Any**.
- **Tags**: a request matches when it has every tag, such as `character=bram`. A rule with a kind can leave tags empty, such as "every image".

Add more rules with **+ Add rule**. A request that matches any one of them is claimable. The dialog shows how many open requests that leaves the member. **Save** replaces their rules, and **Remove limit** lets them claim anything again.

The **Can claim** column shows each member's rules, or **Anything**. The **Limited** filter lists the members who have a limit.

## What changes

The limited member sees what they can claim at the top of **Open requests**. Requests outside their rules show **Outside what you can claim** instead of **Claim**, and `agh next` and coding agents skip them. Claiming or delivering one anyway is refused with the rules in the message.

- Requests **reserved** for them stay claimable, even outside their rules. A reservation for someone else still wins.
- Requests they **already claimed** stay theirs to finish.
- Admins and developers are never limited. If a limited member becomes one, the limit stops applying, and it applies again if they go back to artist or fulfiller.
- Removing someone from the project removes their limit.

## Below Studio

On other plans the **Can claim** column shows a locked **Studio** chip, and **Limit claims…** explains the feature with this guide and an upgrade link. Limits saved before a downgrade stop applying until you upgrade again. [Ask us to upgrade](/support).

## API

`GET /projects/{id}/claim-limits` lists the limits with what each leaves open. `PUT /projects/{id}/claim-limits/{member}` sets one with `{"rules": [{"kind": "audio", "tags": {"character": "bram"}}]}`, `POST …/{member}/preview` counts the same body without saving, and `DELETE …/{member}` removes it. These are for admins.
