# Setting project limits

In DataSphere, you can set consumption limits for your project, measured in [units](../../pricing.md#unit).

1. Select the project in your community or on the DataSphere [home page](https://datasphere.yandex.cloud) in the **Recent projects** tab.
1. Go to the **Settings** tab and click ![pencil](../../../_assets/console-icons/pencil-to-line.svg) **Limits** under **Edit**.
1. Specify the **Project balance**, i.e., the total number of units available for the project. After you run computations, the project balance will start reducing by the number of units required for the selected [configuration](../../concepts/configurations.md) to operate until one of the following conditions is met:
   * The balance becomes zero or less. In this case, all running computations will stop with a warning that the project balance is insufficient.
   * The time specified in the **General settings** section expires.
   * You stop the VM manually.

1. Click **Save**.
