Gas Limit

The maximum amount of gas you're willing to spend on a transaction.

Definition

The maximum amount of gas you're willing to spend on a transaction. If the transaction uses less gas than the limit, you get the difference back. If it needs more, the transaction fails and you still pay for the gas used up to that point. Setting gas limit too low causes failed transactions.
