-that can be created in a period of time. The inbound [incident management](../operations/incident_management/index.md)
-alert limit can help prevent overloading your incident responders by reducing the
-number of alerts or duplicate issues.
+This setting limits the number of inbound alert payloads over a period of time.
 
-To set inbound incident management alert limits:
-
-1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
-1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Network**.
-1. Expand General **Incident Management Limits**.
-1. Select the **Enable Incident Management inbound alert limit** checkbox.
-1. Optional. Input a custom value for **Maximum requests per project per rate limit period**. Default is 3600.
-1. Optional. Input a custom value for **Rate limit period**. Default is 3600 seconds.

+# Incident management rate limits **(ULTIMATE SELF)**
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/17859) in GitLab 12.5.
+
+You can limit the number of inbound alerts for [incidents](../../../operations/incident_management/incidents.md)
+that can be created in a period of time. The inbound [incident management](../../../operations/incident_management/index.md)
+alert limit can help prevent overloading your incident responders by reducing the
+number of alerts or duplicate issues. 
+
+As an example, if you set a limit of `10` requests every `60` seconds, 
+and `11` requests are sent to an [alert integration endpoint](../../../operations/incident_management/integrations.md) within one minute,
+the eleventh request is blocked. Access to the endpoint is allowed again after one minute.
+
+This limit is:
+
+- Applied independently per project.
+- Not applied per IP address.
+- Disabled by default.
+
+Requests that exceed the limit are logged into `auth.log`.
+
+## Set a limit on inbound alerts
+
+To set inbound incident management alert limits:
+
+1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
+1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > Network**.
+1. Expand **Incident Management Limits**.
+1. Select the **Enable Incident Management inbound alert limit** checkbox.
+1. Optional. Input a custom value for **Maximum requests per project per rate limit period**. Default is 3600.
+1. Optional. Input a custom value for **Rate limit period**. Default is 3600 seconds.
