# Global Rate Limit

The global rate limit config is a queue option that determines how many jobs are allowed to be processed in a specific period of time.

```typescript
import { Queue } from 'bullmq';

// 1 job per second
await queue.setGlobalRateLimit(1, 1000);
```

In order to get these values:

```typescript
const { max, duration } = await queue.getGlobalRateLimit();
```

And in order to get current ttl:

```typescript
const ttl = await queue.getRateLimitTtl();
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that if you choose a rate limit level in your workers, it won't override the global one.
{% endhint %}

### Remove Global Rate Limit

It can be done using the following method:

```typescript
await queue.removeGlobalRateLimit();
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.bullmq.io/guide/queues/global-rate-limit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
