Notify spend limits

Notify has its own dedicated monthly spend limit, separate from your SMS, MMS, and voice spend limits. Sending messages via Notify does not count against your SMS or voice spend limits.

The account limit is the maximum amount, in US dollars, that you can spend each month sending Notify messages. You can request an increase through the Service Quotas console.

The enforced limit is an optional spending cap between $1 and your account limit. When you reach the enforced limit, SendNotifyTextMessage and SendNotifyVoiceMessage return a ServiceQuotaExceededException.

Your Notify spend limit reflects the combined cost of the messaging channel fee and the Notify service fee for each message sent.
