# 51129: Twilsock: Too many messages per account

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

Twilsock rejected requests because your account sent more messages than the allowed rate. This error usually indicates that your application is sending traffic faster than the account limit supports.

### Possible causes

* Your application is sending a burst of Twilsock messages that exceeds the account rate limit.
* A retry loop, reconnect loop, or duplicate event handler is causing the same message to be sent repeatedly.
* Multiple clients or services are using the same account and collectively exceeding the allowed message volume.
* A recent deployment or configuration change increased message traffic unexpectedly.

### Possible solutions

* Review your application logs and confirm whether message volume increased unexpectedly.
* Check for retry loops, duplicate subscriptions, or client reconnect behavior that can generate repeated messages.
* Reduce message frequency by batching non-urgent updates or limiting how often clients send events.
* Spread traffic more evenly over time instead of sending large bursts.
* If the traffic is expected for your use case, contact Support to discuss your account limits.
