10.       Click "**Save**"

Your Maximum Channels is a combination of all your bindings channel count.  
So, if you have commit of 5 and want to burst to 10 and have one binding make the binding channel 10 but if you have two bindings you would make the channels 5 each.

 

Note: Bursting is set by manipulating either your commit or max. For further information please review.
