I have a couple of questions regarding Notifications and how the works
I have an algorithm, running at hourly timeframe, that trades lots of stocks
I implemented notifications in order to get alerted when stocks are opened and closed
During peak time, I could get more than 20 messages sent from the algorithm.
To stay within the max number of calls per hour( 20 ) limitation I put messages in a “queue” in order to postpone message sendings to the following hour
Here' s the first question:
it seems that when a high number of messages ( more than 20) at hour x is generated, the following hour get “skipped” in the sense that at hour x+1 exceeding messages (from 20 onwards) are not sent and get “lost”.
My suspect is that due to the time needed to sent the first 20 messages ( let's say that the latest message takes 10 seconds to be sent) a full hour is not yet completed when I start sending the remaining messages. message are triggered but in reality are not sent
could anyone confirm that?
My second question is :
the limit of 20 messages is “per channel”( web, mail sms) or is per generic notification ( 20 in total cumulating all the message sent on various channels?) thanks

Hi Pier Paolo
The notification limit of 20 is the limit per channel.
If you don't receive a notification that you expect, please contact support@quantconnect.com with the live deployment attached.
