Hourly DM Send Limit & Safety Queue in ReplyRush

To protect the security of your Instagram account and ensure compliance with Meta’s guidelines, ReplyRush has set a limit of 600 DMs per hour. This safeguard prevents users from exceeding Instagram’s hourly DM limit, minimizing the risk of restrictions or account blocks.

 

What Happens if Your Content Goes Viral?

If your Reel, Post, or Story suddenly goes viral and starts receiving thousands of comments within minutes, ReplyRush will automatically manage your DM sending to keep your account safe:

  • Once 600 DMs are sent within a single hour, ReplyRush will temporarily pause sending new DMs.

  • DMs will automatically resume at the start of the next hour.

 

The Safety Queue System

ReplyRush has a built-in Safety Queue system to ensure no comment is missed, even during high-volume traffic.

Here’s how it works:

  • When the 600/hour limit is reached, all additional comments are stored in the Safety Queue.

  • The queue will send out the pending DMs gradually, hour by hour, until all queued users have received their messages.

  • This prevents any violation of Instagram limits and ensures every user still gets their DM.

 

✅ Note:

  • If you use the Sendback feature on posts with large numbers of comments, the Safety Queue will also apply, ensuring safe delivery within Meta’s limits.

  • The Safety Queue is automatically enabled on all paid plans.
