We are testing our MFA implementation and recently our developers saw the error “THERE ARE TOO MANY SMSS RIGHT NOW. WAIT SOME MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN.” when testing SMS MFA. I have my Twillio account configured and I can see the sms messages in my Twillio account log. According to this post, the default limits should be lifted when Twillio is configured but this doesn’t seem to be the case. Does anyone have any thoughts on what else could cause this?
Sorry that it took so much time but finally got the answer
The error message you see is probably the per-user SMS rate limit described here:
When you configure Twilio, it removes the per-tenant SMS limit, but the per-user limit cannot be lifted. It’s there for brute-force protection purposes.
