Sending limits

LimitValue
Max recipients per message100
Max attachment size (total per message)10 MB
Bulk messages (recommended max per request)50
For high-volume sends, use the bulk messages endpoint rather than looping over individual /messages calls. Paubox recommends batches of 50 or fewer messages per request.
If you receive a 429 Too Many Requests response, back off and retry. See Errors for retry guidance.

What to do if you’ve reached your limit

You will be charged a small amount per-email for each email that you send beyond the limit of your current plan. Any overage charges will appear on an invoice of the month after any over-limit sending occurs.
