The "Max Concurrency" restriction helps you do exactly that by limiting the number of simultaneous bookings for a specific option. The "Max Concurrency" rule sets the maximum number of active bookings that can be made for a specific bay option at any one time. Once this limit is reached, no additional bookings will be allowed for that time slot until one of the existing bookings ends or is canceled.
This restriction is used for venues that do not offer memberships. If your venue offer memberships, please refer to Venue Restriction | Max Concurrency for user with perk.
