Understanding Gmail Sending Limits

The sending limit is set at 500 emails per day. This includes emails sent to both individual recipients and groups.
To avoid hitting these limits, especially if you need to send a large number of emails, it’s essential to plan your communication strategy carefully. Exceeding these limits can result in a temporary suspension of your account’s sending capabilities. This safeguard is in place to protect the platform from being used to send mass unsolicited emails.

By understanding and adhering to these limits, you can ensure that your emails are delivered successfully without interruptions to your service.  Click this link to read more about  Google sending limit in Google Workspace.
