Replaces any limits the sender already had. There is no call to remove them and go back to following the defaults.

## Parameters

| Name | In | Required | What it is | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `sender_email` | path | yes | The sender's address. | `alex@example.com` |
| `max_pending` | body | yes | How many unused invites they may have out at once. | `20` |
| `max_per_day` | body | yes | How many they may send in any 24 hours. | `10` |

## Good to know

- Leaving out either number answers 400.
