Response Limits

As well as per-choice limits, Choice Eliminator can cap the total number of responses your form accepts, then close the whole form automatically.

Setting a Response Limit

1. Open your Google Form
2. Click the Add-ons (puzzle piece) icon → Choice Eliminator → Start
3. On the Form tab, turn on Limit by number of responses
4. Enter your desired limit
5. Click Save

How It Works

Choice Eliminator tracks your form's total response count. When it reaches your limit, the form automatically:

• Stops accepting new responses
• Displays your custom close message
• Sends you a notification (if enabled)

Response Limit vs. Per-Choice Limits

These do two different jobs, and you can use them together:

• Per-choice limits remove individual options as they fill — the form stays open.
• Response limit closes the whole form once the total count is reached.

For example: give each option 20 seats and cap the whole form at 100 responses — whichever is hit first takes effect.

Use Cases

Event Registration

Cap total registrations at your venue capacity while each session still has its own seat count.

Contest Entries

Accept only the first N entries.

Tips

• Set your limit slightly above your actual need to allow for invalid responses.
• Combine with per-choice limits for forms that need both an overall cap and per-option capacity.
• Enable notifications so you know immediately when your form closes.
• Disable "Show link to submit another response" in Form Settings to avoid the final submitter seeing a confusing link after the form closes.
