# ↳ Kill cooldown
Global cooldown is a great way to prevent lag spikes or abuse from your players. Too many effects triggered at the same time may be dangerous. Here's the solution!
### How does cooldown work?
Global cooldown is found inside the "**Internal Plugin Settings**" menu and defines a value that limits the effects' executions every **x** seconds.
**Default** value: 3 seconds.\
This means Voxel's Kills will allow only one effect to be executed every **3** seconds.

### Adjust the value
You can adjust the cooldown value swinging between **0** and **500** seconds (≅ 8 minutes) using the **+** or **-** icons in the GUI.
To disable the cooldown, just set the value to **zero**. Remember: it affects every kill effect execution.
{% hint style="info" %}
A value between **3-5** seconds prevents *lag* and avoids to *block* kill effects for some players.
{% endhint %}
