How to limit Time Machine Backup size after setup.

When I set up one drive for Time Machine backups I was asked if I wanted to set a limit for how much space TM would use. I want to do that for a different drive that's already set up for TM, but I don't know how to access that setting. Anyone know how?

Unfortunately it seems that is the only way. I tried simply removing / "forgetting" the drive and then adding it again, but it wasn't until I erased the volume that I was again given the choice to set a disk use limit.

I believe you can only do that on the initial setup.
