bandwidth limit
Transfer rate maximum
A bandwidth limit is the maximum rate at which data can be transferred over a network connection, set either by technical capacity or policy.
Internet providers impose bandwidth limits to manage traffic; exceeding yours might slow your connection or incur fees: We hit our bandwidth limit streaming movies.
Figuratively, bandwidth limit describes personal capacity constraints: I've reached my bandwidth limit for meetings this week.
