 ## Rate Limits and Best Practices
 
-### Messaging Limits
+### Official Meta Rate Limits (Per Recipient)
+
+**Base Rate**: 1 message per 6 seconds per recipient (0.17 messages/second)
+- Equals ~10 messages per minute or 600 per hour per recipient
+- Exceeding this triggers error code **131056**
+
+**Burst Allowance**: Up to 45 messages in a 6-second burst
+- "Borrows" from future quota
+- After burst, must wait equivalent time at normal rate
+- Example: 20-message burst requires ~2-minute cooldown
+
+**Retry Strategy**: When rate limit hit (error 131056):
+- Wait 4^X seconds before retry (X starts at 0)
+- X increments by 1 after each failure
+- Retry sequence: 1s, 4s, 16s, 64s, 256s
+
+**Implementation**: BotServer automatically manages rate limiting via Redis queue
+- Messages are queued and sent at compliant rate
+- Per-recipient tracking prevents violations
+- Automatic exponential backoff on 131056 errors
+
