Understanding message rate limits

Last updated: January 2025

Why Rate Limits Exist

Telegram implements rate limits to prevent spam and protect users from abuse. Understanding these limits is crucial for successful marketing campaigns.

Telegram's Official Limits

Telegram enforces several types of limits:

  • **Direct Messages**: Maximum 50 messages per day per account
  • **Group Messages**: 20 messages per minute in group chats
  • **API Calls**: 30 messages per second for bot notifications
  • **New Accounts**: Stricter limits for accounts less than 1 week old
  • Our Platform Limits

    To keep your account safe, we enforce the following limits:

    Free Plan

  • 2 messages per day
  • Valid for 1 week trial period
  • No distributed sending
  • Plus Plan (€9.99/month)

  • 10 messages per day
  • Basic distributed sending
  • Automatic rate limiting
  • Pro Plan (€29.99/month)

  • 50 messages per day (maximum safe limit)
  • Advanced distributed sending over 8-12 hours
  • Smart rate limiting with delays
  • Priority queue
  • Best Practices to Avoid Bans

    1. **Distribute Your Messages**: Don't send all messages at once. Spread them over 8-12 hours.

    2. **Add Random Delays**: Include 2-5 minute delays between messages.

    3. **Personalize Messages**: Use templates with variables to make each message unique.

    4. **Warm Up New Accounts**: Start with fewer messages and gradually increase over time.

    5. **Monitor Delivery Rates**: If delivery rates drop below 80%, slow down your sending.

    What Happens If You Exceed Limits

  • **Soft Limit**: Telegram may temporarily restrict your account for a few hours
  • **Hard Limit**: Repeated violations can lead to permanent account bans
  • **Our Protection**: We automatically pause sending if we detect you're approaching limits
  • Recommended Sending Schedule

    For the Pro plan (50 messages/day):

  • Send 4-5 messages per hour
  • Operate during business hours (9 AM - 9 PM)
  • Take breaks between batches
  • Never send more than 10 messages in a single hour
