What is messaging limit and how to increase it?

Modified on Sun, 17 Nov, 2024 at 7:32 PM

Messaging limits determine the maximum number of business-initiated conversations you can initiate using your WhatsApp number in a rolling 24-hour period. A business-initiated conversation begins when the first (META-approved) template message is delivered to a customer and ends 24 hours later.

Business phone numbers without a connected status and an approved display name are limited to 250 business-initiated conversations in a rolling 24-hour period.


Business phone numbers with a connected status and approved display name can initiate conversations with the following number of unique customers in a rolling 24-hour period:

  1. 1K unique customer
  2. 10K unique customers
  3. 100K unique customers
  4. An unlimited number of unique customers

Each time you initiate a new conversation with a unique customer Meta will determine if your limit should be increased. This determination is based on the following criteria:

  1. Your phone number status is Connected
  2. Your phone number quality rating is Medium or High
  3. In the last 7 days you have initiated X or more conversations with unique customers, where X is your current messaging limit divided by 2

If you meet all conditions, Meta will increase your messaging limit by one level in 24 hours.
