Hi @dina kutt

Unfortunately, we are unable to limit number of slots for appointments by OOTB.

I will recommend you to create an Event Receiver on itemAdding to check the total number of the entries that created today before adding any new entry to prevent adding any new entries If the number of created entries is greater than the specified Entry Limit.

To get starting, check the below links:
