Too many codes requested (24-hour limit)

For your security, each phone number can receive a limited number of verification codes by SMS in 24 hours:

NumberCodes in 24 hours
US numbers3
All other numbers2

When a number has used them all, Zaplog shows Locked for 24 hours and You've used all 2 codes (or 3 for a US number), with a countdown until new codes are available (New codes from a time on your clock).

What you can do

  • Use a code you already received. A code that has arrived still works until it expires. Enter it on the code screen.
  • Wait for the countdown. When it reaches zero, Zaplog shows You can request a new code now.
  • Use a different number if you're creating a new account and have another mobile number.

Avoid hitting the limit

  • Wait for the text before asking for another code. Messages can take a minute to arrive.
  • Check that the number and country are right before you tap Next.
  • Make sure your phone has signal and can receive SMS.
