# What are Guaranteed Commitment Allowances?

Since Archera Guaranteed Commitments are a mechanism for our customers to offload some of their commitment risk to us, we can only offer a limited amount of any given Guaranteed Commitment type to customers to balance our own internal risk.

Allowances are set dynamically based on market liquidity by Archera's underwriting algorithm, and over time allowances do grow.

Allowances are automatically reflected by the Archera Purchase/Renewal planners, so any remaining balance will automatically be utilized if there is an opportunity to do so.
