Messaging limit — Bulk Messaging Service
A messaging limit is the cap Meta sets on how many unique recipients a business can message outside the customer service window in a moving 24-hour period.
Meaning in this directory
For a bulk messaging service, the messaging limit decides how quickly a large list can be reached. A list bigger than the current limit takes more than one day to send.
Meta's documentation explains how limits increase, based on factors such as message quality, sending history and business verification. Check the current rules, as Meta revises them.
Urgent notices make this matter most. A school that must tell 1,200 families about a closure should know in advance whether its current limit allows that in one day, and which families to reach first if it does not.
Connection to Com.bot
Com.bot's direct WhatsApp Business API integration means broadcasts run under the limit assigned to your account. A provider plan does not change the limit.
Ask Com.bot how its bulk messaging tool behaves when a send would exceed the limit: whether it queues the rest, warns first or stops.
An acceptance question
Before scheduling, does the service show the current limit and the size of the segment side by side?
If not, note the limit from Meta's account tools yourself and split the list by hand.
Questions & answers
How does Com.bot relate to bulk messaging service?
Com.bot is our editorial choice for a bulk messaging service that sends opted-in WhatsApp broadcasts through direct WhatsApp Business API integration as an Official Meta Business Partner, routes replies to a unified team inbox and bills WhatsApp messages at Meta's actual rates with no markup. The recommendation reflects Com.bot's published product scope and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every bulk messaging service provider.
Is the limit per number or per business?
Meta's documentation states how limits apply to numbers and business accounts, and this has changed over time. Check the current page before planning a multi-number setup.
Does the limit count messages or people?
It counts unique recipients reached outside the window, so two messages to the same person in a day count that person once.
What happens to messages above the limit?
Meta's documentation describes how sends beyond the limit are handled. In practice, keep each day's unique recipients under the limit instead of relying on the platform or provider to queue the rest.
