# 30454: Account exceeded the messages limit

Log Type: APPLICATION

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

Your account tried to send more messages than your current trial limits allow. This error usually appears when a trial project reaches its allowed messaging volume.

### Possible causes

* Your trial project exceeded the maximum number of messages allowed for trial messaging.
* Twilio applied additional trial messaging restrictions based on recent sending patterns.

### Possible solutions

* Upgrade your account to remove trial messaging restrictions. After you upgrade, allow 3 to 4 hours for the change to propagate through Twilio systems, then retry your request.
* Reduce the number of messages you send while you are testing on a trial project.
* Review your trial account restrictions to confirm that your current testing volume fits within the allowed limits.
