Considering a natural generalization of the Ruzsa–Szemerédi problem, we prove that for any fixed positive integers r, s with r < s, there are graphs on n vertices containing $n^{r}e^{-O\left(\sqrt{\log{n}}\right)}=n^{r-o(1)}$ copies of Ks such that any Kr is contained in at most one Ks. We also give bounds for the generalized rainbow Turán problem ex (n, H, rainbow - F) when F is complete. In particular, we answer a question of Gerbner, Mészáros, Methuku and Palmer, showing that there are properly edge-coloured graphs on n vertices with $n^{r-1-o(1)}$ copies of Kr such that no Kr is rainbow.
