Sending limits and quality rating

WhatsApp limits how many different customers a number can start conversations with in a day. You can see your number’s limit and quality rating in Settings → WhatsApp Channel, in the Facebook details section of the number’s card.

Quality rating and message limit on the WhatsApp Channel page

Message Limit is the number of different customers you can send template messages to in a rolling 24 hours. Replies to customers who messaged you first don’t count towards it.

New numbers start with a low limit. Meta raises it automatically as you send good-quality messages, and business verification raises it further. See Meta business verification.

If a broadcast is bigger than your remaining limit, LoopChat skips the extra contacts and shows them in the report as Skipped — daily limit.

Quality Rating reflects how customers have reacted to your messages recently:

Rating Meaning
Green High quality. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Yellow Medium. Some customers are blocking or reporting you.
Red Low. Your limit may be lowered if it stays red.

The rating drops when customers block your number, report it, or ignore lots of messages.
