annual limit

Once-per-year ceiling

An annual limit is a cap on something that resets each year.

Insurance policies have annual limits on payouts or covered services: I hit my annual limit on physical therapy visits.

Credit cards may set annual limits on rewards or cash back.

The term appears wherever institutions want to control exposure over a defined period while allowing renewal.
