Changing the limit on a card

You can set a credit limit on a card when you initially create a card. To change the limit after a card has been created, use the PATCH /cards/{card_id} operation and provide the credit_limit parameter as shown in the table below.

🚧
Note
Each individual child card's limit must be less than the parent card, but the aggregate of all child card credit limits can be more than the parent card limit.
The aggregate of the balance of all child cards cannot exceed the parent card's limit.

Parameter	Type	Description
`credit_limit` ^required	string	New credit limit for the card. Decimal format with two decimal places, for example `3000.00`.

An example of a request to change the credit limit for a card is shown below.
