Reaching the Developer plan limits#

This section provides examples of 466 error bodies when the Developer plan limits are reached

How the recipient identifier format is counted

The same recipient specified in different chat identifier formats (the phone number phoneNumber@c.us and the chat identifier chatId) is counted in the chat quota as different chats — the remaining quota check is not synchronized between these formats. To avoid spending the quota unnecessarily, stick to a single sending format. More details.
