# Set Capacity Limit

The capacity limit is the maximum number of Checker Nodes allowed to run on your client. The default value is 100, but you can configure your own capacity limit from 1 to 100.

Please note that there are [minimum resource requirements](/checker-guide/how-to-run-checker-nodes/what-is-a-checker-node-client/what-is-the-hardware-requirements-for-running-checker-node-client.md) for the machine, which scale linearly with the number of nodes running.

The Test Capacity tool calculates your machine’s daily task capacity and recommends the ideal number of licenses to bind. It generally takes 5–20 minutes to generate the results.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note: Exceeding the recommended capacity will lead to inability to complete tasks assigned, affecting your rewards.
