# Get quote limits

> Returns the effective amount limits for a swap on the selected account.

Limits reflect current liquidity and trading constraints. They are a point-in-time estimate and can change before a quote is created. When available, `limit_reasons` explains which constraints contributed to `maximum`.

Set `amount_side` to the side whose amount the partner will fix when creating a quote. The returned asset and amounts are denominated in that side's asset. Clamp create-quote amounts to `[minimum_swap, maximum]`. Amount-too-large/small errors apply to create quote, not to this discovery call. Dust-only floors are intentionally not exposed here and may be added later for dust-sweep flows.
