limitations
Caps on capability
Limitations are restrictions or constraints on what is possible, permitted, or achievable.
A limitation period sets a deadline for legal action.
Physical limitations restrict movement or ability.
To know your limitations is to recognize what you cannot do well.
The word often appears in disclaimers and contracts specifying boundaries of liability or scope.
