Just specify this in the db definition configuration :

db1 = host=localhost dbname=db1 pool_size=2

but it will apply to every user, so that every user's pool will have max 2 connections, not only user1.

Alternatively you could set "ALTER ROLE .. CONNECTION LIMIT connlimit " for user1 individually.

Take a peek in the delivers pgbouncer.ini file:

;; User-specific configuration
[users]
#postgres=pool_mode=sessio
my_useracct=pool_mode=session max_user_connections=6
your_useracct = pool_mode=transaction max_user_connections=2
