# What should I do if I reach my Alert Source limit in ilert?

This article explains how to resolve the issue of encountering an error indicating you've reached the maximum number of alert sources in your ilert account.

ilert accounts have default quotas (soft limits) for the number of alert sources to ensure fair use and prevent potential abuse. These limits are adjustable upon request.

To resolve this issue:

1. **Check Your Current Quota:** If you encounter an error about reaching your alert source limit, it likely means you've hit your current quota.
2. **Request an Increase:**
   * Contact the ilert support team by emailing <support@ilert.com>.
   * Clearly state that you have reached your alert source limit and request an increase in your quota.
3. **Quota Adjustment by Support:** The ilert support team will review your request and promptly adjust your alert source quota, typically increasing it to accommodate your growth needs.
4. **Confirmation:** You'll receive confirmation from the support team once your alert source quota has been adjusted. After confirmation, you can proceed with adding additional alert sources.
