# How many jobs can I post, and when do they close?

There is a limit on how many vacancies you can have at once, and a deadline is set for you if you leave it blank.

You can have a set number of vacancies at the same time. Unless your community has changed it, the limit is 20.

## What counts towards the limit

Vacancies that are **Open** or **Draft** count. Vacancies that are **Closed** or **Filled** do not.

If you reach the limit, you see a message like **You have reached the limit of 20 active job postings** . To post another, close or delete one you no longer need. See **Managing a vacancy you posted** in this section.

## If you leave the deadline blank

The **Application Deadline** is optional when you [post a vacancy](/jobs/create) . If you leave it empty, the deadline is set for you. Unless your community has changed it, it is 30 days from the day you post.

The form does not show this date while you fill it in. Open the vacancy afterwards to check it.

## What happens on the deadline

- People can apply until the end of the deadline day.
- After that, the vacancy no longer appears in the job list, and nobody new can apply.
- It can still show as Open on your My Postings tab. It still counts towards your limit until you close it.

You get a reminder 7 days before the deadline. To keep a vacancy going, press **Renew** and choose how many days to add.

If you have found someone, close the vacancy. This stops new applications and frees a space for your next one.
