Cultural Tip

In Brazil, the word 'limite' is often used in banking and mobile‑phone contexts, while 'teto' sounds a bit more formal or technical. When speaking with customer‑service agents, keep the tone polite and add 'por favor' after the question if you want extra courtesy. Regional accents may affect pronunciation, but the structure stays the same across the country.
