What "Capped" means
Why an alert wasn't sent, and how to avoid hitting the daily limit.
Capped in Alert history means the alert matched one of your rules but wasn't sent, because you'd already reached your daily limit.
The Free plan delivers up to 5 alerts a day. Pro has no limit.
How the limit works
- Each alert to each channel counts once. One alert sent to Discord and Telegram counts as two.
- Only alerts that were actually sent count. Capped and failed alerts don't.
- The count resets at midnight UTC (8 PM New York time in summer, 7 PM in winter).
- Capped alerts are not sent later. They stay in Alert history so you can see what you missed, and you can look the events up on the browse pages.
How to avoid it
- Narrow your rules. Add a minimum value, pick fewer symbols, or use a smaller watchlist.
- Send each rule to one channel. Two channels use up the limit twice as fast.
- Pick specific indicators for macro rules. Some indicators update every business day. See Macro filters.
- Upgrade to Pro to remove the limit. See Upgrade to Pro.
