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

  1. Pace the sending

    Send in batches with a gap instead of the whole audience in one moment.

  2. Retry the failed ones after a few minutes

    The error is temporary; the same message usually succeeds once things calm down.

Meta raises throughput for numbers with good quality and steady use; poor quality keeps it low.
