Gmail limits you should know
How many emails you can send, to how many people, and why Google caps it.
Gmail limits exist to stop spam. Normal work rarely touches them. Newsletters and mail merges do. Limits are counted over a rolling 24 hours, not a calendar day.
| Limit | Paid Workspace account |
|---|---|
| Messages sent per day | 2,000 |
| Total recipients per day | 10,000 |
| External recipients per day | 3,000 |
| Recipients per message | 2,000 |
| External recipients per message | 500 |
| Undo send window | Up to 30 seconds |
| Scheduled emails at once | 100 |
| Email aliases per user | 30 |
