Hello. I need to make it so that I can limit the number of publications of users daily, that is, so that a particular user can publish a post of a certain type of post only a certain number of times in a certain period of time, for example 6 publications in 24 hours, and that the next day after 24 hours the user can again post new 6 posts. Tell me please how can I do this? I found this topic on the forum, but I do not know how he can help me ...

This is not possible natively with Toolset.

The Plugin you mention I have never used, it seems thou it applies to the backend only, as per your description, and hence it won't work with Toolset CRED.

You could apply some custom code.
So, for example, you can count the result of get_posts(), and create a conditional HTML that shows the button to create the post (link to CRED Form, or CRED FOrm itself), only if the count of posts is lower than a certain amount.

Examples:
https://toolset.com/de/forums/topic/limit-the-number-of-posts-submitted-by-registered-customers/#post-368894

This could be reset with a CRON or similar, every amount of seconds you wish.

But that would require elaborated custom code that we cannot provide as such here.
If you need professional help with the Custom code I can suggest the contractor's list:
