# Submit a job requiring limits
<a name="job-limit-job"></a>

You apply a limit by specifying it as a host requirement for the job or job step. If you don't specify a limit in a step and that step uses an associated resource, the step's usage isn't counted against the limit when jobs are scheduled..

Some Deadline Cloud submitters enable you to set a host requirement. You can specify the limit's amount requirement name in the submitter to apply the limit.

If your submitter doesn't support adding host requirements, you can also apply a limit by editing the job template for the job.

**To apply a limit to a job step in the job bundle**

1. Open the job template for the job using a text editor. The job template is located in the job bundle directory for the job. For more information, see [Job bundles](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/deadline-cloud/latest/developerguide/build-job-bundle.html) in the *Deadline Cloud Developer Guide*.

1. Find the step definition for the step to apply the limit to.

1. Add the following to the step definition. Replace *amount.name* with the amount requirement name of your limit. For typical use, you should set the `min` value to 1.

------
#### [ YAML ]

   ```
     hostRequirements:
       amounts:
       - name: amount.name
         min: 1
   ```

------
#### [ JSON ]

   ```
   "hostRequirements": {
       "amounts": [
           {
               "name": "amount.name",
               "min": "1"
           }
       }
   }
   ```

------

   You can add multiple limits to a job step as follows. Replace *amount.name\$11* and *amount.name\$12* with the amount requirement names of your limits.

------
#### [ YAML ]

   ```
     hostRequirements:
       amounts:
       - name: amount.name_1
         min: 1
       - name: amount.name_2
         min: 1
   ```

------
#### [ JSON ]

   ```
   "hostRequirements": {
       "amounts": [
           {
               "name": "amount.name_1",
               "min": "1"
           },
           {
               "name": "amount.name_2",
               "min": "1"
           }
       }
   }
   ```

1. Save the changes to the job template.
