+ <listitem><para>Configure unit start rate limiting. By default, units which are started more than 5 times
+ within 10 seconds are not permitted to start any more times until the 10 second interval ends. With these two
+ options, this rate limiting may be modified. Use <varname>StartLimitInterval=</varname> to configure the
+ checking interval (defaults to <varname>DefaultStartLimitInterval=</varname> in manager configuration file, set
+ to 0 to disable any kind of rate limiting). Use <varname>StartLimitBurst=</varname> to configure how many
+ starts per interval are allowed (defaults to <varname>DefaultStartLimitBurst=</varname> in manager
+ configuration file). These configuration options are particularly useful in conjunction with the service
+ setting <varname>Restart=</varname> (see
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>); however,
+ they apply to all kinds of starts (including manual), not just those triggered by the
+ <varname>Restart=</varname> logic. Note that units which are configured for <varname>Restart=</varname> and
+ which reach the start limit are not attempted to be restarted anymore; however, they may still be restarted
+ manually at a later point, from which point on, the restart logic is again activated. Note that
+ <command>systemctl reset-failed</command> will cause the restart rate counter for a service to be flushed,
+ which is useful if the administrator wants to manually start a unit and the start limit interferes with
+ that.</para></listitem>
