Ability to Manage maximum number of bookings across different meeting types
It would be great if people that use multiple calendar types had the ability to limit the total number of meetings scheduled across each of those instead of just at the individual meeting type level

This would be a game changer. Please add this feature.

We're using CP for our support team. This is a key functionality to ensure our reps have manageable call loads each day.
Adding this feature would allow CP to open up more use cases.

For new hires, I want to be able to limit number of bookings per day on a meeting type and Q basis. This allows us to control the amount of volume a rep gets. Weighting helps a little but only if it's a larger Q

Currently, you can cap the number of meetings per day but you can't cap the number of hours booked per day. For example, if I want only allow two hours to be booked per day for one meeting type, I can't do that today. I would have to put a limit of four 30-minute meetings per day.
You can set a schedule to align the two hour requirement but I don't want to timebox our customers. I want to give them the flexibility to book whenever they want to.

This would be incredibly helpful when someone is in multiple queues. If we have meeting type cap set at 3, but they are mapped into 4 queues, they could in theory get stacked with 12 meetings.

From an Admin perspective limit the number of meetings a user gets / day, not from a meeting type, but from an overall meeting perspective

It is critical for us to be able to limit the # of meetings a single rep can get. We have people in onboarding we don't want to be receiving more than a certain number of meetings booked in a week
However, since these reps have lots of availability on their calendar, they get many meetings routed to them, even if their weights are very low - which is the opposite of what we aim for -

We would like to have the feature of putting a cap on the number of hours that can be scheduled to a user per day. This would be an option to turn off the cap for meeting types, and change to a user-based cap instead.Our use case:Our team performs training on over 100 training courses. Training courses have different durations, from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the course. We want each of our trainers to have a daily limit of 5 hours of training. We want to provide our customers a larger range of times for scheduling their training, as our customers are all over the US and UK. Therefore, we do not have trainers on a fixed schedule for specific times of the day that they can train; training can be booked throughout their entire shift.Current Chili Piper Setup: Each course is a separate queue in Chili Piper, which allows us to assign trainers to each course based on their skills. Each training course has different duration and pre-requisites, so we also have a different meeting type for each queue so that we can account for the duration differences and send a unique invitation for each. The issue: When we try to limit how many hours a trainer can be booked every day, we cannot easily do this when there are multiple meeting types that they can handle, each with different durations. The limits in the meeting type are rendered useless, referring to the setting "Cap the number of times an Assignee can be booked to {integer} meetings every {time period}". So we have to set each of our trainer's working hours to a specific time of the day that they can train.Proposed solution: If, instead of having a cap based on meeting type, we could apply a limit of the number of hours that a user could be scheduled, we could offer more availability to our customers, have better utilization, and provide more flexibility to our trainers in their daily schedule.Our previous system, Acuity, was able to accommodate this. I would love to see it in Chili Piper as well.

Id like for there to be customizable host booking limits (by user) within a specific meeting type. From a capacity management perspective this would reduce friction between meeting types and queues
