Messages are stuck in the queue

Queued items not sending? Usually it's rate limits, warming, night pause, or a paused account doing its job.

A queue that’s holding messages is often the anti-ban engine protecting you — not a bug. Check these first.

The queue shows each item's state and why it's waiting.
The queue shows each item's state and why it's waiting.

Why items wait

  • Rate limit reached. Sends pace out as headroom returns (see Rate limits explained).
  • Warming. A new number’s daily cap is intentionally low for ~72 hours.
  • Night pause. Sends scheduled in quiet hours wait until your window opens.
  • Account paused / cooling. Resume it once risk is back in the safe band.
  • Disconnected. The number must be online to send — check the connection.

Tip. If you genuinely need more throughput, warm additional numbers rather than forcing one past its caps. On Pro, the smart queue keeps retrying automatically.
