About temporary interaction limits

Limiting interactions for your user account enables temporary interaction limits for all public repositories owned by your user account. {% data reusables.community.interaction-limits-restrictions %}

{% data reusables.community.interaction-limits-duration %} After the duration of your limit passes, users can resume normal activity in your public repositories.

{% data reusables.community.types-of-interaction-limits %}

When you enable user-wide activity limitations, you can't enable or disable interaction limits on individual repositories. For more information on limiting activity for an individual repository, see "Limiting interactions in your repository."

You can also block users. For more information, see "Blocking a user from your personal account."
