If the rating recovers to Medium or High within 7 days, the number returns to <strong>Connected<\/strong>. If it doesn&#8217;t, the number still returns to Connected, but with a <strong>lower messaging limit<\/strong> than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to improve it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Message only people who opted in<\/strong>, and keep a record of when and how each opt-in was given.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Honour opt-outs immediately.<\/strong> Remove anyone who asks to stop, and use the block list so they&#8217;re excluded from future campaigns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cut the frequency.<\/strong> Repeated promotions to the same people are the fastest route to blocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clean your list.<\/strong> Drop numbers that never read or reply; low read rates hurt you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make the first line useful<\/strong> and name your business, so the message is recognised rather than reported.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Send marketing in smaller batches<\/strong> and watch the rating in Connections before scaling up.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quality is measured on a rolling window, so improvements show up within days rather than instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/whatsapp\/api\/rate-limits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Meta: Capacity, Quality Rating and Messaging Limits<\/a>.
