# Set Card Daily Spending Limit

> Sets the daily spending limit for a card. `currency` must match the
card's native currency, and `amount` is in that currency's smallest unit
(minor units), in (0, 1,000,000]. The card must belong to the
authenticated user. The response returns the new limit immediately with
`syncStatus: pending` and transitions to `synced` once the change has
been applied downstream. Once synced, this is a cumulative spending
limit, not a per-transaction cap: an authorization that meets or exceeds
the limit can be approved, after which subsequent eligible authorizations
are declined.
