URL: /code/sdk/limit/verbs · Id: `page:code/sdk/limit/verbs`

> The Limit Verbs raise as typed SDK methods, with inputs, result, refusals and an example.

Reference for [Limit](/business/nouns/limit), one group of [Limit methods](/code/sdk/limit).

### Limit.raise
Raise lifts a Limit after an Approval allows it, and the Action that waited on it proceeds. [Verb page](/business/nouns/limit/raise?interface=sdk).

```ts
interface LimitVerbs {
  raise(input: LimitRaiseInput, options?: SB.CallOptions): SB.Call<Limit>
}
```

Emits [`Limit.raised`](/business/events/Limit.raised).

**Inputs**

| Input | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | [Limit](/business/nouns/limit) | Yes | The Limit to lift. |
| `to` | `json` | Yes | The new amount, count or rate. |

**Returns**

| Output | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `limit` | [Limit](/business/nouns/limit) | Yes | The raised Limit. |

**Refuses when**

| Check | Error | Fix | Then call |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| The key is valid, but its scopes do not allow this operation. | [`forbidden`](/code/api/errors/forbidden) | Use a key whose scopes cover the operation, or ask an owner of the namespace to grant them. | None. |
| The record is not in a state that allows this Verb, so the call is refused. | [`refused`](/code/api/errors/refused) | Read the record, run the Verb that moves it to an allowed state, then retry. | None. |

**Example**

```ts
import { $ } from 'startup-builder'

const limit = await $.Limit.raise({ limit: 'limit_UWHXYVKsJB', to: {} })
```
