These limits are stored in`SNOWController.distributionLimitOf(...)`. Any funds that are in the project's Snowcone treasury that it hasn't specified as distributable are considered overflow. * Overflow serves as a project's runway since future funding cycles can tap into it within the bounds of the preconfigured distribution limits. Overflow can also serve as a refund or rebate mechanism, where everyone's net contribution price is pushed towards zero as volume outpaces what the project needs. * By default, overflow also serves a means for allowing community members to exit with a portion of the treasury's funds in hand. Any funds in overflow are reclaimable by the project's community by redeeming community tokens along a bonding curve defined by the project's current redemption rate. Projects can override or extend this functionality using a custom data source. * Projects can manage how much money is in overflow (and therefore how much each member can exit with) either by adjusting its distribution limits or by using a custom redemption extension. * A project can set overflow allowances from its treasury on a per-funding-cycle-configuration basis within the`SNOWController.launchProjectFor(...)` and `SNOWController.reconfigureFundingCyclesOf(...)` transactions. These allowances are stored in`SNOWController.overflowAllowancesOf(...)`. A project's owner can distribute the project's funds from its overflow on-demand up until the preconfigured allowance. Overflow allowances do not reset each funding cycle, they last until a new funding cycle reconfiguration takes effect. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://snowconedao.gitbook.io/snowconedao/learn/glossary/overflow.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
