# Remove limited for a User

`DELETE /api/users/{id}/limited`

This endpoint allows the client to remove limits for a user.

The user associated with the API key must have any 'admin' or 'moderator' role.

This specified user will be restored to 'general' status. Users are not notified
of limits in the UI, so if you want them to know about this, you must
notify them.

## Path parameters

- `id` integer, required

## Response `204`

User successfully un-limited

## Other responses
