# 60203: Max send attempts reached.

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

This rate limit is triggered when the verification lifecycle (sending and checking) is not completed.

HTTP status: 429

### Possible causes

* You have attempted to send the verification code more than 5 times and have reached the limit.
* You have not [checked the verification](/docs/verify/api/verification-check).

### Possible solutions

* Complete a verification lifecycle by calling the [Verification Check endpoint](/docs/verify/api/verification-check).
* Wait for the verification to [expire](/docs/verify/api/rate-limits-and-timeouts) (10 minutes).
* For use with [custom codes](/docs/verify/api/customization-options) you can manually approve or cancel the verification by calling the [Verification Update endpoint](/docs/verify/api/verification#update-a-verification-status).
* **For testing** you can manually cancel the verification by calling the [Verification Update endpoint](/docs/verify/api/verification#update-a-verification-status).
