They depend on reputation, seniority and account activity. Novalya allows adjusting pace, but final decisions fall under Meta's systems. --- ## Is there universal official limit? **No.** Meta doesn't communicate universal limit valid for all accounts. This approach is intentional: Meta adapts limits in **real-time** according to each user's profile. ### 5 factors influencing your personal limit Your account's sending capacity varies according to: | Factor | Impact on your limit | |--------|---------------------| | **Account seniority** | Older = higher limit | | **Overall activity level** | Regular likes, comments, shares = better reputation | | **Message response rate** | Messages generating conversations = increased limit | | **Report history** | No spam reports = preserved limit | | **Action consistency** | Regular and gradual activity = Meta trust | || Two different accounts can have **very different** limits. 5-year account with good engagement can send 100 messages/day, while 2-month account will be limited to 15-20 messages/day. --- ## Official Novalya recommendation For gradual and stable use, here's recommended plan: ### Ramp-up plan **Week 1:** - **10 to 20 messages per day** - Prudent or Secured mode - Results observation **Week 2:** - **Gradual increase** according to obtained results - Switch to Normal mode if no failures - Maintain monitoring **Recommended long-term pace:** - **Up to 50 messages per day** regularly and stably ### Important about volume Some experienced accounts with excellent history can **occasionally** send more (70 to 120 messages during specific operations like launch or promotion). ||| **However:** ||| - This must **not** be daily practice ||| - It's recommended to **reduce volume for 48 to 72 hours** after send peak ||| - It's essential to **observe feedback** and possible send failures || Constant high volume risks triggering restriction even on established account. --- ## How Novalya helps secure your sends Novalya offers multiple mechanisms to automatically adapt your prospecting: ### 4 built-in protections **1.

Quality prevails over quantity. --- ## Strategies to optimize within limits ### Strategy 1: Quality > Quantity ❌ **Bad approach:** - 100 messages/day to anyone - Generic copy-pasted content - No personalization ✅ **Good approach:** - 30-40 messages/day ultra-targeted - Personalized variants by niche - High response rate **Result:** Better ROI with lower volume but superior quality. ### Strategy 2: Intelligent distribution If you have 50 messages/day limit: - **Option A:** 50 messages/day for 20 days = 1000 messages/month - **Option B:** 30 messages/day for 30 days = 900 messages/month with more regularity | Option B is generally safer and generates better results. --- ## FAQ **Can my Meta limit increase over time?** Yes! Using Novalya regularly and responsibly, Meta **gradually** increases your limit. Account sending quality messages (good response rates), receiving no spam reports, and active for long time can go from 30 to 80-100 messages/day in few months. **How to know my exact personal limit?** Meta doesn't explicitly communicate it. Best method: **test gradually**. Start with 20 messages/day for week. If no problem, increase to 30/day next week. Continue until detecting your limit (first failures = you're close to limit). **What happens if I exceed my limit?** Meta **temporarily** blocks you from sending messages (generally 1h to 24h). Your account isn't in danger. Simply wait for block to lift, then reduce your volume. **Are limits same on Facebook and Instagram?** No. Each platform has its **own limits**, even though they work on same principles. You can have 50 messages/day on Facebook and 40 on Instagram depending on your activity on each platform. **What typical limit for recent account (< 3 months)?** New account should start with **5-10 messages/day** for 2 weeks, then gradually increase. Final limit after warm-up will generally be between 20-40 messages/day. --- || **Related articles:** || - How to do effective warm-up? || - What to do if my account is temporarily blocked? || - How do sending intervals work? || - Can Novalya get my account banned? --- ## Questions about your sending limits?
