Hitting Rate Limits

If batches stop mid‑send, you may have hit the caps defined in Global Settings.


Minute / Hour Caps #

  • When the per‑minute or per‑hour limit is reached, all batches pause.
  • No further emails are sent until the next minute or hour window.
  • Once the window resets, sending resumes automatically.

Day / Month Caps #

  • Hitting the per‑day or per‑month limit pauses all batches until the next reset.
  • No emails are sent past your defined threshold.
  • At the daily reset (either midnight or a rolling 24-hour window) or your chosen reset day (monthly), batches automatically continue.

Backoff Behavior #

  • Batches remain marked “In Progress.”
  • They don’t fail or disappear — they simply wait.
  • Cron resumes them as soon as the reset opens.

What to Do #

  • Check Global Settings to confirm your limits.
  • If you regularly hit caps, consider raising them slightly (but stay under your provider’s real limits).
  • Enter values conservatively to leave room for other site emails.

This pause‑and‑resume system keeps you compliant with provider rules and ensures no recipients are skipped, only delayed.
