What happened
Apps limit how many codes they send to a number, a device or a network in a short time. It protects them from bots and protects you from someone flooding your phone. Asking for codes too fast trips that limit.
What to do
- Stop asking for new codes and wait — often 10 minutes to a few hours, depending on the app
- When you try again, wait for the full resend timer before tapping resend
- Don’t switch between “call me” and “text me” repeatedly: each switch counts as an attempt
If you were using a rented number
The number stays reserved for 20 minutes. If the limit means no code arrives in that time, the number closes and the price goes back to your balance automatically. Wait for the app’s limit to pass before buying a new one.
