# Cooldown

The management of the cooldown function can help prevent bots from attacking your project, and by allowing you to easily update the variables for this function, you can better protect your project when there are bots overtrading on your project. In this section you can edit:

1. Transaction count to enable the cooldown period
2. Time in which those transactions will take place to enable the cooldown period
3. The freeze period, which is the length of a time a wallet cannot buy/sell your token
4. Check if a wallet is in the cooldown period
5. Remove a wallet from the cooldown period
6. Renounce the cooldown function
