WhatsApp error 130429: You exceeded the number's sending speed
On this page 4
The short answer
Error 130429 means the number sent messages faster than the throughput Meta allots it at that moment. It is not a block; slow down or spread the sending over a longer time and retry shortly.
Why error 130429 appears
- A large campaign went out all at once without pacing.
- More than one system sends from the same number at the same time.
How to fix it, step by step
- Pace the sending
Send in batches with a gap instead of the whole audience in one moment.
- Retry the failed ones after a few minutes
The error is temporary; the same message usually succeeds once things calm down.
