gmail’s sending limit is the maximum number of emails you can send daily. prevents senders from sending too many spam emails in one day.
It is determined from some factors that we will analyze in this blog.
It is necessary to keep track of all these factors to get the most out of your gmail account.
google offers a regular gmail account and a g suite account. First, let’s find out what they are.
normal gmail account vs g suite (google workspace)
a normal gmail account has a domain address that contains gmail.com or googlemail.com.
g suite is a commercial product provided by google, which means your email addresses contain your organization’s domain names. for example, john@saleshandy.com.
what are gmail’s daily sending limits?
gmail officially claims that with a normal gmail account you can send 500 emails per day. And with paid services like G Suite (Google Workspace), you can send more than 2,000 emails per day.
However, there is a small difference between gmail and g suite accounts. let’s understand it one by one.
1. gmail account
messages/recipients per day – 500
with gmail account you will get limit of 500 either emails or recipients. for example, you can send 1 email to 500 recipients or 10 emails to 50 recipients each.
2. g suite account
messages per day – 2000 and recipients per day – 10000
g suite (google workspace) work accounts are used for business purposes where individual email addresses are taken into account in each sent mail; 10 emails sent to 20 addresses count as 200 recipients.
then if you send 2,000 individual emails to 2,000 individual recipients, you will not be able to send any more emails to the remaining 8,000 recipients because you have reached the message limit of 2,000.
In extreme cases, you can send 1 email to 5 recipients, including cc and bbc, to cover all 2,000 message limits and 10,000 recipient limit.
note: gmail bcc limit per day: all addresses in the to, cc, and bcc fields are included in the recipient count per message, and therefore an addition in any of the given fields will affect the daily limit of recipients.
why does gmail have sending limits?
Unfortunately, there are many exploiters and people trying to exploit the system. it’s not uncommon for them to try to find loopholes in anti-spam laws by using bots to take advantage of people.
As a result, gmail restricts the number of email addresses you can add as email recipients each day. this keeps accounts secure, spam-free, and the system healthy.
Beware of account suspension!
Please note that if the gmail email sending limit is exceeded, your gmail account may be temporarily suspended.
We recommend that you do not exceed gmail’s email sending limits as this may affect your domain’s reputation and decrease your email deliverability.
If you access gmail through pop or imap clients, you can send an email to a maximum of 100 people at a time. this also includes emails sent through the smtp-relay.gmail.com or smtp.gmail.com servers.
If you exceed the limit, your account may be suspended for one day with the error: “Daily sending quota exceeded 550 5.4.5”.
Google may temporarily disable your account if your sent emails bounce back or if you send a large number of undeliverable emails.
This happens when the email addresses do not exist or the email addresses are broken and retrieved as a failed delivery.
You can always verify email addresses before adding them to your mailing list. Also, when you associate non-gmail addresses with your gmail account, the original account’s message limits apply.
When you use the gmail mobile app in google sync mode, the same sending limits apply as when you use gmail in a web browser.
For disabled accounts, Google will reactivate your account within 24 hours. Depending on your program’s policies, Google may permanently disable your Gmail account if you don’t verify your Gmail email address for nine months.
different types of gmail error messages
Depending on your broken rule, gmail lets you know what happened with these error messages.
These are the three most common:
1. you have reached a limit for sending mail
It is recommended to wait at least a day before sending more emails. send emails with caution; when you do, you don’t get banned.
2. the messages you sent could not be delivered
means that emails you send are bounced or not delivered. remove them from your contact list.
3. a contact receives too much mail
this means you have sent too many emails to one address. check your duplicate list or stop sending this person for a couple of days.
Regardless of your error message, be sure to fix it as soon as possible. your account is more likely to be suspended if you commit multiple crimes.
