Your GC Notify service is limited to doing 1,000 API requests per minute.
This limit is calculated on a rolling average basis, per API key type. If you exceed the limit, you will get a 429 error RateLimitError.
There’s a limit to the number of messages you can send each day:
| Service status | Type of API key | Daily limit |
|---|---|---|
| Live | Team or live | Customized according to your needs |
| Trial | Team | 50 |
| Live or trial | Test | Unlimited |
These limits reset at midnight UTC. All team members will receive an email if you reach 80% of your daily limit and if you reach your daily limit.
You can request to go live in settings.
::: tip Adjusting your daily limit
The daily limit can be changed if you need. To request a limit increase, contact us.
:::
If you repeatedly send text messages to the same number the phone networks will block them.
To prevent spamming there is an hourly limit of:
- 20 messages with the same content to the same recipient
- 100 messages with any content to the same recipient
Your messages may not be delivered if you exceed these limits and your service may be blocked by phone carriers.
