Safety, Rate Limits & Account Protection
How our Safety Governor, database queue, and official Meta/Google partnerships keep your social accounts 100% secure.
⚡ The Rate Limit Blueprint
Meta determines your messaging rate limit dynamically. Instead of a flat limit, your hourly quota scales automatically based on the number of unique people interacting with your account:
This dynamic limit means active accounts rarely hit Meta's limits. However, warm-up or brand-new accounts have a lower starting baseline (typically 200/hour). Our system uses a **Safety Governor** to pace your requests safely within these boundaries.
🛡️ Double-Shield Resiliency Architecture
If a post goes viral and you receive a massive surge of comments, our backend utilizes a multi-layered guard to process, pace, and safeguard every reply:
Safety Governor (50/min)
Acts as a speed governor. Paces outbound comments/DMs to a maximum of 50 per minute. This keeps sending patterns looking natural and prevents account spam flags.
Redis Circuit Breaker
If Meta returns a `429` (too many requests) or rate-limit error, our system trips a Circuit Breaker that instantly pauses all outbound traffic for that account for 5 minutes.
Queue & Backoff
Pending messages are held securely in our high-performance message queue. Once the 5-minute pause expires, the queue retries sending using progressive exponential backoff.
24-Hour Freshness Guard
If a message is delayed for more than 24 hours, the system cancels it automatically. This prevents sending stale, out-of-context replies to your audience.
⚖️ Safety Comparison
How TamilDM stacks up against unofficial, scraping, or bot-based automation tools:
| Feature / Policy | TamilDM | Other Bot Tools |
|---|---|---|
| API Integration | Official Meta & Google API Partner | Unofficial APIs & Browser Scraping |
| Password Sharing | Not Required (Secure OAuth) | Required (Major security risk) |
| Account Ban Risk | Zero Risk (100% Policy Compliant) | Extremely High (Triggers ban filters) |
| High Traffic Spikes | Queue Buffering & Pacing (No drops) | Failed calls, lost messages, bot suspensions |
| Spam Protection | 50/min Speed Safety Governor | Spams rapid requests (triggers shadowbans) |
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
No. Unlike competitor tools that scrape pages or use unofficial bot APIs (which violates terms of service and triggers automated bans), TamilDM runs 100% on official Meta and Google API integration. We are an approved developer partner. Your account is entirely safe.
Instagram employs automated algorithms that look for sudden, superhuman messaging speed (e.g., 200 messages in 5 seconds). Sending too fast flags your account as spam. The Safety Governor acts as a 'speed limit' (50/min max) to ensure that even during massive traffic spikes, your sending patterns look natural and comply with anti-spam filters.
All 500 comment events are instantly received by our webhook, but our server queue paces them. It will send 50 replies in the first minute, 50 in the second, and so on. If Meta limits the hourly quota, the Circuit Breaker trips, pauses sending for 5 minutes to let the window reset, and automatically resumes sending. No comments are skipped, and no messages are lost.
Meta rules state that apps can only reply to a user within 24 hours of their last interaction. If our queue delays a message for more than 24 hours (for example, if you pause your bot for days), our freshness check automatically cancels it. This ensures you never send weird, out-of-context replies to your audience.
