sublimit

Policy maximum subset

A sublimit is a cap within a larger limit—a secondary ceiling that restricts a particular category while the overall limit remains higher.

Insurance policies commonly have sublimits: The policy covers $500,000 in property damage but has a $50,000 sublimit for jewelry.

Credit cards may set sublimits for cash advances below the total credit line.
