AUTOLIMIT
Manage adaptive channel limits.
Syntax
X service Private message/msg X AUTOLIMIT #channel [ON|OFF|+threshold]Required access
- Signed in to X
- View: operator (+o); change: master (+m) or owner (+n)
How it works
Threshold: +1–+1000 sets the target above the user count, including services.
View: Show users, current limit, state and the next planned change.
ON: Enable with the saved threshold. OFF: Disable and remove the managed limit.
Timing: Joins are grouped; reductions settle for 30–45 seconds, with a 90-second maximum deferral.
Recovery: Netsplits and returning bursts hold reductions for two minutes, up to three during recovery.
Safety: The threshold never grows automatically. AUTOLIMIT does not kick or ban users.
Join throttling: Configure +j separately with CHANMODE if required.
Clear fixed +l/-l locks with CHANMODE before enabling.
