# 60245: You have exceeded your messaging limits

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

You have reached a rate limit or messaging volume limit for Verify. Twilio returns this error when your account, service, or destination has exceeded the allowed number of verification messages for a given period.

### Possible causes

* Your Verify service has sent too many verification SMS or voice messages in a short time.
* A single phone number has received too many verification attempts.
* Your account has reached a platform-enforced limit designed to protect against fraud, abuse, or accidental overuse.
* Your application is retrying verification requests too aggressively.
* You are sending verifications without using rate limits or other abuse prevention controls.

### Possible solutions

* Reduce how often your application starts new verification attempts for the same user or phone number.
* Add retry backoff and avoid sending multiple verification requests in rapid succession.
* Review your Verify service settings and any application logic that could trigger repeated sends.
* Use Verify rate limits to control verification traffic by phone number, IP address, or other identifiers.
* If your use case requires higher throughput, review your Verify configuration and contact support if you need help evaluating your limits.
