How SMS and Email Sending Limits Work
Source: autosoft-workshop/app/controllers/inspections_controller.rb, workshop_mailer.rb
- Daily sending limits by subscription: Trial=9, Limited Active=249, Active=3000
- Email uses different AWS accounts based on server region (AU vs other)
- No queue or retry — if sending fails, it fails silently
- Inspection approval emails set status to "requested_approval" — hangs indefinitely if customer doesn't respond
Support scenarios
- "Emails stopped sending" → daily limit hit, no warning shown
- "Customer never got the inspection approval" → email failed silently or hit spam filter
