# Higher Throughput

Higher throughput allows selected numbers to send and receive messages at significantly increased speed. This is required for businesses with very high messaging volumes that exceed Meta’s standard throughput limits.

By default, numbers are limited to Meta’s standard throughput - up to 80 messages per second. Higher throughput can raise this limit to 1,000 messages per second.

### Eligibility

To qualify for higher throughput, the number must meet the following requirements:

* Be registered on Cloud API
* Maintain a quality rating of Medium or higher
* Be able to initiate conversations with an unlimited number of unique customers within a rolling 24-hour period

To reach unlimited conversations with unique customers, the number must:

* Initiate conversations with 50,000 unique customers within a rolling 7-day period
* Wait 24 hours after reaching the milestone before the upgrade is available
* Be approved by Meta for unlimited conversations

Learn more about [Messaging Limits and Quality Rating](/partner/messaging/messaging-limits-and-quality-rating.md)

### Requesting Higher Throughput

1. Confirm that your number meets the eligibility requirements.
2. Contact 360dialog Support or your Partner Account Manager with the following details:
   * Phone number to upgrade
   * Partner Hub account ID
   * Average daily conversation volume
3. Once approved, the number will be migrated to a higher-throughput network.
4. Monthly billing will be adjusted accordingly.

### Costs

Total Monthly Cost: €249/$249

* Premium licence fee subscription: €49/$49
* Channel registration on higher-throughput network: €200/$200

Higher throughput is per number. If you require multiple numbers, each will need to be upgraded individually.

### Removing Higher Throughput

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.360dialog.com/partner/messaging/sending-and-receiving-messages/higher-throughput.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
