+#### **--cpus**=*number*
+
+Number of CPUs. The default is *0.0* which means no limit. This is shorthand
+for **--cpu-period** and **--cpu-quota**, so you may only set either
+**--cpus** or **--cpu-period** and **--cpu-quota**.
+
+On some systems, changing the CPU limits may not be allowed for non-root
+users. For more details, see
+https://github.com/containers/podman/blob/main/troubleshooting.md#26-running-containers-with-resource-limits-fails-with-a-permissions-error
+
+This option is not supported on cgroups V1 rootless systems.
