You waited and tried again, expecting it to work this time—but nothing changed.
Your verification code is still not received.
At this point, it should be working—but it isn’t.
If you already waited and the SMS code is still not working,
the limit may still be active.
Why Your SMS Code Is Still Not Working After Waiting
If your SMS code is not working even after waiting, the system may still be restricting your requests.
Some platforms keep the limit active longer than expected.
This is especially common after repeated verification attempts.
The system tracks request patterns and may extend the restriction automatically.
Some systems use a cooldown window that does not reset immediately, even after you stop trying.
This is why your verification code is not received even after waiting.
What “Limit Still Active” Means
You are not blocked permanently.
Your number is still valid.
But the system has not fully reset your verification access.
- Requests may still be restricted
- New SMS codes may not be sent
- Verification code not accepted errors continue
This is why your SMS code is still not working.
How Long You May Need to Wait
- 15–30 minutes in normal cases
- Several hours if attempts were repeated many times
- Up to 24 hours on stricter systems
If your verification code is still not received, the limit has not reset yet.
What You Should Do Now
- Stop requesting new SMS codes
- Avoid repeated login attempts
- Wait longer without triggering new requests
Each new request can delay the reset further.
If You Can’t Wait Any Longer
- Use a different verification method (email, backup code)
- Try logging in later with a fresh session
- Contact support if the issue continues beyond 24 hours
If your SMS code is still not working after a long wait, alternative access may be required.
What Will Not Fix This
- Requesting codes repeatedly
- Switching networks or devices
- Restarting your phone multiple times
These do not reset the system limit.
If your SMS code is still not working after waiting, the verification limit is likely still active. You need to wait longer or use another method.
