How Rate Limiting Protects You

WhatsApp uses advanced AI to detect automated messaging. Our system acts as an adaptive buffer between your API calls and WhatsApp servers.

Ban Prevention

Avoids trigger patterns

Fair Usage

Balanced resources

Queue Priority

Smart message order

Human Pauses

Simulated delays

Optimization Tips

Number Warming: New numbers should stay on "Strict" for at least 7 days before switching to "Standard".
Worker Control: Keep concurrency low (1–2) for high-stakes business communication.
Retry-After Headers: Monitor 429 responses and back off programmatically to prevent IP blocks.

Best Practice

Implement a queue system (BullMQ or RabbitMQ) with controlled parallelism. Even if your plan allows high throughput, uncontrolled bursts will trigger WhatsApp spam protection.

API Response Headers

Every response includes these headers to help manage your custom queue system.

X-RateLimit-Limit

Max requests allowed in the current window.

X-RateLimit-Remaining

Requests remaining before the window resets.

X-RateLimit-Reset

Seconds until the rate limit resets.
