Mail sending rate Limit Exceeded Error

Hi @sc20thazin

Thanks for reaching out to us and we’re sorry to hear that you’ve hit the rate limit while using the Google mailer.

Please note that the “User-rate limit exceeded” error, is a limitation enforced by Google to prevent sending spam and bulk messages.

This error message indicates that you sent too many emails in a short period of time. Please make sure you don’t send emails in an endless or too many at once (https://support.google.com/a/answer/166852?hl=en).

If you want to send more emails with potentially higher limits, you can do so by switching to a different mailer such as SMTP.com, Mailgun, Sendinblue, etc. You can see all the available mailers from here (https://wpmailsmtp.com/docs/a-complete-guide-to-wp-mail-smtp-mailers/) and configure a mailer of your choice.

Please note that the mailers I mentioned above are transactional mailers, so if you mean to send out newsletters or other marketing emails, it’s best that you look into using a specific service that supports that.

I hope this helps ??

Hi @sc20thazin

Thanks for getting back to us.

As I mentioned in my previous reply. WP Mail SMTP does not have a rate limit. Rate limits are only enforced by the mailer you are integrating with.

With that being the case, you would need to either reduce your email sending while connected to the Google Mailer, or you can switch to a different mailer.
