Hello,

We have a user locked at trust level 0. I know that there are posting limits for users at TL0, but I’m having a hard time discerning whether the post limits are comprehensive, or per day.

[This post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trust-level-0-as-a-way-of-punishment-lead-to-unexpected-results/272365/8) indicates that the limit is not on the total amount of posts:

But [this post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/maximum-topics-in-first-day-error-4-days-after-first-topic/170929/7) seems to suggest that it’s actually a limit overall.

I am hoping that the post restrictions for TL0 could be on a per-day basis, not overall, as I can’t find any other method with which to restrict the amount that some users post without affecting all users. But, I can’t quite get a clear picture of how specifically TL0 users are restricted.
