Yes, “manage stock” is a nice feature to make sure you don’t oversell a given product based on the stock you have in your warehouse. However, what if you also need to have a “daily sales limit” – say you can’t sell more than 3 of a given product ID in a given day?
This is an interesting functionality that is also helpful for you to learn how to get today’s orders, how to loop through the orders to find a specific product ID and sum its quantities, and finally how to use the woocommerce_is_purchasable filter to set if a product can be purchased or not (which means, the add to cart may or may not show). Enjoy!

I cant seam to get this to work. Is there way to limit it per product tag instead of id?
Did you use the exact same code and test it with a Simple product? If not, give me more context please, because it works for me.
In regard to the other question, of course – anything is possible
Interesting snippet. Thank you very much
