Second Life servers may restrict the amount of notices delivered to the group. The actual limits are not known and seems to vary from group to group. Some precautions will help to increase your delivery success.

The only official notices limit is 2500 notices per by single avatar.

The official limits are very optimistic, but sometimes you may face with more strict limitations applied by SL. Your notice may get silently discarded, usually this happens after 20 repetitive notices (nevertheless, usually you can send 30 or even 42 simultaneous notices without being capped).

''"Failed to send group notice. It has been too soon since another group notice has been sent. Please try again after a few minutes."''

We've faced this message while sending 10 and more repetitive messages to the same group. After receiving this message you should stop sending any notices. SL unblocks your avatar in about 10 minutes after a last notice.

It seems that 30 seconds delay helps to avoid this message. Lower delays' impact varies.

The best way to ensure the reliable delivery is to add a delay after each notice.

SmartBots periodic notices delivery engine allows you setting custom delay when you send notices to multiple groups (10+).
