Overview

Error code #131056 — "Pair Rate Limit Hit". Too many messages were sent to the same recipient in a short period. This is a temporary Meta-side limit on the sender–recipient pair, not a ChatDaddy bug.

Why This Happens

  • You exceeded the per-user pair rate limit — the cap on how many messages one number can send to one recipient in a short window.

What to Do

  1. Wait before retrying to that specific recipient.
  2. Space out follow-ups instead of sending several messages back-to-back.
  3. Avoid rapid repeated sends to the same contact.

Suggested Reply

The error you're seeing is Meta error code 131056 — "Pair Rate Limit". It means too many messages were sent to the same contact in a short time. This is a Meta-side limit, not a ChatDaddy issue. 🙂

What to do:

  1. Wait a little before messaging that specific contact again
  2. Space out your follow-ups rather than sending several in a row

It clears once you ease off that recipient. Let me know if you need help! 😊
