How does global request limit work?

I'm wondering how the settings "global movie request limit" and "global series request limit" work. Is this a total number of requests a user can ever make, or is there a cycle (weekly, monthly, yearly) when these "tokens" are refreshed? Also, is it possible that users can still file requests after their limit is exceeded? Will they be blocked or do they just need to get manually approved?

It's a configurable limit. After they reach this limit they cannot request until it refreshes

Thanks, I just tried it and it seems like you can actually configure the cycle between 1 and 100 days.

I think it would be great if there is an option to allow users to make additional requests but only accept them as soon as they have additional "tokens" or if an admin manually approves it. This would be more like an approval limit rather than a request limit.
