Maximum Number of Requests #4325

Description

@corfoto4

Description

Could you please look into a feature where you can limit the amount someone can request overall? So far program can limit number of requests per day, but this would be an overall limit.

This is to prevent someone from over-requesting. They would have to contact the admin to delete old series they no longer want to be able to request more.

Desired Behavior

Per user (or globally set) maximum number of requests allowed overall

  • Count the number of media tagged with their name on radarr/sonarr
  • Check and see if it equals or is greater than the maximum allowed requests
  • Prevent them from requesting any more media until the count decreases

Future idea:

  • Be able to see how much space their requested media is taking up (e.g. Limit to 2TB maximum used space)
  • Prevent the user from requesting more until they are below the space requirements
  • Obviously space is relative and not predictable. This would only check the amount of space the user's requests are currently taking up

Additional Context

I think this feature could tie in nicely with this feature request #4317
