You probably have to validate it yourself. You probably should do this at the form level. I don't think there's a smart way to do that in Django.

1. Pass user into the form's __init__.

2. Check the number of user's feedback in the form's clean() method and raise ValidationError if user has left enough feedback.

class FeedbackForm(forms.Form):      def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):          self.user = user        def clean(self):          super().clean()          if Feedback.objects.filter(user_id=self.user.pk).count() >= 3:              raise ValidationError(['You have already left feedback 3 times.'])    ======================    

form = FeedbackForm(request.user, request.POST)
