What limit was set to the locusts’ tormenting?

Revelation 9:5 (ESV)

5 They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone.

These locusts, with their stings like scorpions, could torture to the point of death, but were forbidden to actually kill someone.
