# Concurrency Controls
Sometimes, you want to run multiple tasks but you don't want them all to run at once. Instead of starting them one by one, Lyra offers a feature called Concurrency Controls.
With concurrency controls you can control how many tasks run at once, and the delay in between those tasks running.
**Concurrent tasks:** The maximum amount of tasks that can run at once. 0 means all tasks can run at once.
**Concurrency delay:** The amount of time that the bot has to wait once the bot can start a new task. (in seconds)
{% hint style="info" %}
Note: You can input a single number **5** to use static delay or you can input a range and Lyra will use a random delay inside that range [5-10](#user-content-fn-1)[^1].
{% endhint %}
