This is a method of preventing users spamming meeting requests. If a user has a Pending Meeting Limit of 10, they can send 10 meeting requests, but then they are prevented from sending out any further meeting requests until at least one of those meeting requests have been either Accepted, Declined or Deleted. Once this happens the user regains that request to use again. This should be considered as a running quota and not a definite limit for a user.
