# Change autoscaling limits

> Adjust the minimum and maximum node counts for a Managed Kubernetes node pool to match expected workload changes.

Each pool has minimum and maximum node counts that determine the limits within which autoscaling operates. The limits can be changed at any time to reflect a different expected workload.

1\. In the [Gcore Customer Portal](https://portal.gcore.com), navigate to **Cloud** > **Managed Kubernetes**, then click the cluster name.

2\. Open the **Pools** section, click **⋯** next to the pool, and select **Edit Pool Settings**.

3\. Enter the **Minimum nodes** and **Maximum nodes** values, then click **Save**.

After saving, the new limits take effect:

* If the specified count is higher than the current number of nodes, the system deploys new ones.
* If the specified count is lower, the system removes redundant ones.
