Coupon Cooldown Hours24Minimum hours before a customer can receive another coupon from the same trigger. Different triggers do not block each other, so a welcome coupon and a first post-purchase coupon can arrive on the same day. 0 = no cooldown.

Recommended values for most stores are the defaults. Raise Max Coupons Per User if you run several triggers at once and customers complain that a reward never arrived; the analytics Triggers tab shows which triggers are actually firing.
