Error 1016 returned by Tencent Cloud SMS typically indicates an issue related to the SMS sending limit or quota. This error might occur if the number of SMS messages sent from your account within a certain time frame exceeds the allowed limit.
To address this error, consider the following steps:
Check Quotas and Limits: Review the SMS sending quotas and limits set for your account. Tencent Cloud imposes limits to prevent abuse and ensure fair usage.
Request Quota Increase: If you frequently encounter this error and need to send a higher volume of SMS messages, you can request a quota increase through the Tencent Cloud console. Provide the necessary details and justification for the increase.
Optimize Sending Strategy: Implement a more efficient SMS sending strategy to stay within the limits. This might involve batching messages, scheduling sends during off-peak hours, or targeting specific user groups.
Monitor Usage: Regularly monitor your SMS usage to anticipate when you might approach the limits. This allows you to take proactive measures to avoid hitting the error.
Example: If your account is limited to sending 10,000 SMS messages per day and you attempt to send 11,000, you will receive error 1016. To resolve this, you could either reduce your daily sends or request a quota increase.
