To further help manage API costs and prevent unexpected expenses, Roo Code includes a "Max Requests" setting for auto-approved actions. This allows you to define a specific limit on how many consecutive API calls Roo Code can make without requiring your explicit re-approval during a task.

**Unlimited behavior:** In Settings, leaving this field blank means **Unlimited** (no request-count limit). In the underlying settings JSON this is stored as `null`.

This note explains that blank means Unlimited, but the later “Configuration” bullet still implies “Unlimited” is a selectable option, which can confuse readers. Consider aligning the wording there to “leave blank for Unlimited” so the UI behavior is described consistently.

Fix it with Roo Code or mention @roomote and request a fix.


* **How it works:** If you set a limit (e.g., 5 requests), Roo Code will perform up to 5 auto-approved API calls. Before making the 6th call, it will pause and prompt you to "Reset and Continue," as shown below.
