lower limit
Smallest allowed value
Lower limit is the smallest value in a defined range, or the boundary below which something cannot or should not go.
In mathematics, it's the minimum of an interval or the value a sequence approaches from above.
Speed limits have lower limits on highways; statistical confidence intervals have lower limits.
The lower limit for the job was two years of experience.
