 ## Maintenance mode
 
+Maintenance mode provides an easy and fast to immediately stop accepting any types of deals both storage and retrieval deals (graphsync / bitswap / http).

 Activation of maintenance mode results in the automatic rejection of all deals received by a miner. 
-This option is applicable to both storage and retrieval deals. 
 
 To toggle maintenance mode on or off, utilize the switch located on the top navigation bar.

-Global limits serve as a protective measure for the miner, preventing an influx of deals within a short timeframe. 
-These limits are applied without regard to the customer's status, whether registered or not.
+Limits are implemented at 2 levels : 
+	- Global limits apply accross all clients. Any accepted deals from any clients will be counted in the same bucket. If that bucket exceed the limit, nor more deals are accepted. 	- Client limits only apply to that specific client. All deals of that specific client are counted to evaluated if new deals should be accepted. When a limit is set on a client; both the client and the global rate limit are evaluated.
 
-In the event these limits are exceeded, all deals processed by CIDgravity will be rejected.

+The global limits should be set to the maximum ingestion capacity of the miner.
+{{< /alert >}}
+
+These limits are applied to any clients registred and unknown.

+Any new deals are rejected until the limit of accepted deals is exceeded.
 
 For configuration of the global limits, navigate to the `Settings` section, specifically under `Global rate limits`.

 Various rate limits can be configured:
 
-- **Number of storage deals per hour**: sets the maximum allowable number of storage deals
-- **Cumulative storage deal size per hour**: defines the maximum cumulative size of all deals that can be received within an hour
-- **Retrieval deals per hour**: establishes the maximum allowable number of retrieval deals
+- **Number of storage deals per hour**: The maximum number of storage deals accepted over the last 60 minutes, across all clients.
+- **Cumulative storage deal size per hour**: The maximum cumulative storage deal size (GiB) accepted over the last 60 minutes.
+- **Retrieval deals per hour**: The maximum number of graphsync retrieval deals accepted over the last 60 minutes, across all clients.
