Cultural Tip
‘Tageslimit’ is a standard term in German banking, telecom and many service contracts. It is always written as one word; splitting it (e.g., ‘Tages Limit’) is considered a spelling error. The adjective ‘hoch’ is the idiomatic choice for asking about limits – ‘groß’ sounds odd in this context. Keep the register neutral; the phrase works both in formal customer‑service settings and in casual conversation with friends about personal limits.
