A method, system, and program for automatically limiting requests for additional chat sessions received by a particular user are provided. The number of multiple chat sessions concurrently open between a particular user and a separate user from among a first selection of multiple users are detected, wherein the first selection of the multiple users and a remaining selection of the multiple users monitor a presence of the particular user through a presence indicator that indicates whether the particular user is available to participate in an additional chat session. Responsive to the number of concurrently open chat sessions exceeding a threshold for the particular user, updating the presence indicator of the particular user transmitted to the remaining selection of the multiple users to indicate a lack of availability for the additional chat session, but enabling the first selection of the multiple users to continue participating in the already open chat sessions with the particular user.
