90012: 'Recipients' list has too many items [deprecated]


ERROR: 90012

error-90012 page anchor
ERROR

This deprecated error occurs when you submit a Broadcast request with more recipients than the request allows. For current bulk messaging workflows, Twilio accepts up to 10,000 recipients in a single request through the to array.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • You provided too many recipients for a single Broadcast request.
  • Your application tried to send one bulk request instead of partitioning the audience into smaller recipient groups.
  • If you are using the current Bulk Messaging API, the to array contains more than 10,000 recipients.
  • Split the recipient list into smaller Broadcast requests, or break a bulk send into multiple requests with fewer recipients.
  • If you use the Bulk Messaging API, keep the to array at 10,000 recipients or fewer in each request.
  • After you resend a smaller batch, use the operationId from the response to track progress with the Operation resource.
