### Sources are disabled when you reach the global limits
4343

4444
When you reach the global limits, Sumo Logic starts disabling your metric sources, starting with the one that is ingesting metrics with the highest cardinality, and continues disabled metric sources in that order, until your metric ingestion is reduced to a volume that is lower than the limit.
