+## Managing open connection limits [limit-open-connections]

+Starting in client 9.0, when using `@elastic/transport` 9.2.0 or later, you can provide a custom `agent` function to share a singleton [Undici `Agent`](https://undici.nodejs.org/#/docs/api/Agent.md) instance that can enforce client-wide connection limits.
+
+```typescript
+import { Agent } from 'undici'
+import { HttpConnection } from '@elastic/transport'
+
+// `maxOrigins * connections` (50 in this case) is the total connection limit

 ## Automatic product check [product-check]
 
-Since v7.14.0, the client performs a required product check before the first call. This pre-flight product check allows the client to establish the version of Elasticsearch that it is communicating with. The product check requires one additional HTTP request to be sent to the server as part of the request pipeline before the main API call is sent. In most cases, this will succeed during the very first API call that the client sends. Once the product check completes, no further product check HTTP requests are sent for subsequent API calls.
