Flooding mechanism - DCL

Destination Counter Limitator (DCL) is a security mechanism that protects Infobip clients from being flooded with messages.

DCL is enabled by default for each new account created on the Infobip web interface. You can request to disable it through your account representative, although this is not recommended for most use cases.

Flooding protection thresholds are set at 20 for short messages with different text, with the 21st message within an hour being rejected by our platform.

For identical content, the threshold is set at 6, with the 7th message sent within an hour being rejected. Messages rejected by the platform are not charged.

This protection safeguards both end subscribers and Infobip clients from accidentally sending a large number of messages to the same subscriber.
