Each calendar has a limit on how many new people you can add to its contacts. Most hosts never reach it — it’s there to keep Luma a safe place, not to get in your way.

## What Counts Toward Your Import Limit

Your import limit counts the **new people you add** to your calendar.

**Inviting someone uses your import limit.** Anyone you invite to an event — by email or from your contacts — gets added to your calendar’s contacts, just like a spreadsheet import. Invites and imports draw from the same limit.

**Inviting or adding someone again is free.** If a person is already in your contacts — because you invited or imported them before — adding them again doesn’t use any of your limit. You only use it up on people who are new to your calendar.

**Your limit opens back up as people engage.** When someone you added registers for one of your events or follows your calendar, they stop counting toward your import limit — so you get that room back to add more. And anyone who discovers you and signs up on their own never counted in the first place, so your organic audience can grow without limit.

## Requesting a Higher Limit

If you reach your import limit, you can ask us to raise it:

1. Start an import from your calendar’s **People** tab.
2. If you’re at the limit, you’ll see a banner with a **Request increase** button — click it to open the request form.
3. Tell us how many more people you need to add and why, then submit the request.
4. We’ll review it and email you. Once approved, the higher limit applies to that calendar right away.

## Import Limits vs. Send Limits

Your import limit is about how many people you can add to your contacts. It’s different from your weekly [send limit](/p/send-limits) — how many invites and newsletters you can send out. If you’re trying to message people rather than add them, see that article.
