Some links are meant to work a fixed number of times: a download with a hundred licenses, a discount code for the first fifty people, a private file you're sharing with one client. A click limit makes a link serve exactly that many visitors and then stop — no babysitting required.
Setting a limit
Open the link in the editor and set click limit to any whole number. Leave it empty for the default behavior: unlimited clicks, forever.
What happens at the limit
- The link serves up to the exact number — a limit of 100 serves exactly 100 visitors, not 101.
- The click that would exceed the limit is the one that gets refused, and it isn't counted against the link.
- Once the limit is reached, visitors see a plain "this link has reached its click limit" page rather than a broken redirect or an error screen.
Raising, clearing, reviving
The limit lives on the link, and the click history stays with it too. Raise the limit and the link resumes immediately with its full history; clear the limit entirely and it's back to unlimited. Nothing is deleted when a link limits out — it just stops serving.
Where this shines
- Gated downloads — a beta build shared with the first 200 people who click.
- Limited offers — a coupon link valid for the first fifty redemptions on the destination side.
- One-to-one shares — set the limit to 1 for a file or page you're sending to a single person; the link dies after the first open.
Pair a limit with a schedule window when the offer has both a count and a deadline — whichever boundary is hit first ends it.
