= ranch:set_max_connections(3)

== Name

ranch:set_max_connections - Set the max number of connections

== Description

[source,erlang]
----
set_max_connections(Ref      :: ranch:ref(),
                    MaxConns :: ranch:max_conns())
    -> ok

smaller than the previous one, Ranch will wait for the extra
connections to terminate and will not accept new connections
until the number of connections goes below the limit.

== Arguments

Ref::

MaxConns::

The new maximum number of connections.

== Return value

The atom `ok` is always returned. It can be safely ignored.

== Examples
