Rate limit exceeded: 413 while sending direct message.
Hello everyone! I've encountered a strange issue with a 413 rate limit error, and I'm stuck. Please help!
I was tasked with creating a Signal bot to send announcements to my colleagues. I created the bot and successfully sent the initial message via script to about 100 new contacts. Everything worked fine — no limits or captchas.
However, yesterday I tried to send a test message to myself (I was also on the list) and received a "Rate limit exceeded: 413" error from the first message. Since then, I haven't been able to send any messages. Occasionally, on some numbers, I see a captcha challenge, but after resolving it, I get the same "Rate limit exceeded: 413" error again. All contacts are marked as TRUSTED_UNVERIFIED. Below is my detailed sending log:

I have similar problems, did you find a solution/workaround?
Nope( The only workaround we've found - to use another phone number..
ok, but they reset automatically after some time, so why would you get another number?

I wasn't able to wait till reset
Hi,
I'm having the same issue with the CAPTCHA when sending the same message to multiple devices.
I'd like to continue using SIGNAL and not have to resort to other sending platforms.
What’s the exact maximum number of messages allowed before a CAPTCHA is enforced?
If the limit is exceeded, what’s the default cooldown period before sends resume without CAPTCHA?
