Marqeta Velocity Controls API
// Conditional snippet for beta or internal contentinclude::../../maturity-admonition-banner.adoc[]A velocity control limits how much users can spend.You can configure velocity controls to limit how much users can spend and the number of transactions they can make in a given span of time.You can apply velocity controls to a single user, to all users associated with a particular card product, or to all users in your program.Only Program Managers can create or modify program-wide velocity controls.A `POST` or `PUT` call from a role that does not have Program Manager permissions will receive a 403 error if its `association` field is null, or if it includes all of the fields in the request body.Avoid this by passing a valid `user_token` or `card_product_token` in the velocity control's `association` object, indicating that the request is specific to a user or card product, and not program-wide.You should also only include the specific fields you want to update, because a `PUT` or `POST` with values for all fields is interpreted as a change that requires Program Manager permissions.See > for a tutorial that walks you through the creation of a spend control.[NOTE]Each program supports a maximum of 90 spend controls (velocity controls and > combined).The limit of 90 spend controls applies at the program level only; it does not affect the number of user-level spend controls you can use.
