WhatsApp error 131056
Error 131056: Too many messages to one person
Error 131056 means you sent too many messages to the same person too quickly. The limit is on that one pair of numbers, so messages to other people still go. Wait a little before messaging that person again.
- Meta’s description
- “Too many messages sent from the sender phone number to the same recipient phone number in a short period of time.” Meta’s error codes, 5 October 2026
- Charged by Meta?
- No. Meta charges only for delivered messages, and this one was not delivered.
Common causes
- A burst of messages to one person, such as an automation loop, or many short messages instead of one.
How to fix it
- Wait before sending to that person again.
- Combine short messages into one, and check automations for loops.
What Fliok does about it
- Fliok treats 131056 as temporary and retries automatically, up to five attempts with growing gaps.
Meta sets and changes these codes. If anything here disagrees with Meta’s current reference, Meta is right.
Meta does not publish a figure. Wait a few minutes, and send fewer messages in a row to the same person.
