# ModifyEipBandwidthLimitMode

## 1. API Description

This API (ModifyEipBandwidthLimitMode) is used to modify the bandwidth rate limit mode of the specified elastic IP.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes**

* Only EIPs in an available status (`BINDED`, `UNBIND`) support this operation.
* EIPs without bandwidth configured do not support this operation.
* `LOOSE` (relaxed mode) allows short-term bursts exceeding the rate limit; `STRICT` (strict mode) enforces the rate limit strictly without any bursts.
  {% endhint %}
