# Delete User Account Position Limit

POST https://demo.tradovateapi.com/v1/userAccountPositionLimit/deleteuseraccountpositionlimit
Content-Type: application/json

### Delete a position limit from a user account.

**Available to:** All authenticated users

**Environments:** Demo, Live

**[Rate Limit](/api/authentication#request-rate-limits-and-time-penalties):** No endpoint-specific limit

Removes the `UserAccountPositionLimit` identified by `userAccountPositionLimitId`, the single required field in the request body. Because risk parameters are children of a position limit, deleting the limit removes the pre-trade rule it defines for the account. To delete an individual child constraint without removing the whole limit, use [`deleteUserAccountRiskParameter`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/risks/delete-user-account-risk-parameter) instead.

To find the `userAccountPositionLimitId` to delete, call [`userAccountPositionLimit/deps`](/api/rest-api-endpoints/risks/user-account-position-limit-dependents) for the account.

The endpoint returns a `DeleteResultResponse` with a `success` boolean and an `errorText` field that is non-empty only when the request fails. A failed deletion does not change the account's risk configuration.

**Common Failure Scenarios**

- `userAccountPositionLimitId` is missing.
- The referenced position limit does not exist or is not visible to the calling user.

**Error Messages**

| `errorText` | Trigger |
|-------------|---------|
| Non-empty `errorText` | The request failed; the field describes the reason. |
