Per-request, daily and rolling limits are not the same
A maximum needs a time period and counting rule before you can compare it with another maximum.
The distinction that matters
Record whether the cap applies to a request, a calendar day, a rolling interval or an account balance. Keep the timezone and reset rule when supplied. Do not multiply a per-request maximum by an assumed number of allowed requests; a separate total cap may apply.
A worked example
One hypothetical policy allows C$500 per request; another says C$1,000 in a rolling 24 hours. The second number is larger, but the policies cannot be ranked from those two cells alone. The first policy's total cap and the second policy's per-request conditions are still unknown.
Your next steps
- Copy the unit and period with the amount.
- Check whether multiple caps apply simultaneously.
- Record reset details only when documented.
- Ask about missing conditions before planning a transaction.
Where this answer stops
These illustrative figures are not a workaround for transaction restrictions. Do not split requests to evade controls. A comparison should explain documented limits, not offer methods for getting around them.
