Two separate limits apply to every withdrawal: the local machine's per-transaction cap and your home bank's daily limit, and you're bound by whichever is lower. Machine caps vary by country and bank, and in some places they're low enough that you'll need multiple transactions to get a meaningful amount, which stings if each one carries a fixed fee. Your home bank's daily limit is usually the one you can actually do something about.
Most banks let you raise the daily withdrawal limit temporarily through their app or by calling, and it's worth doing before a trip where you expect big cash needs like rental deposits. Some also let you lower it, which is smart protection against skimming while abroad, raising it only on days you need more.
If a machine refuses a large amount, try a smaller one before assuming your card is blocked; you may simply have hit the machine's cap. And where fees are per withdrawal, fewer and larger withdrawals within your limits is the economical pattern.
