The Issuer Account Limit setting shows the total number of badge earners that have been awarded one or more badges in the past year compared against the issuer's annual earner limit. This feature allows admins to keep track of the number of badge earners that have already been awarded one or more badges in the current year, along with how many earners can still be awarded by their organization for the rest of the current year.
Note: Earners can receive an unlimited number of badges per year.
