ERROR CODES
Error 131056
Error 131056 ("Business account and consumer account pair rate limit hit") is returned when a business sends too many messages to one specific recipient in a short period, breaching Meta's pair rate limit. It is designed to stop loops and floods; Meta rejects further messages to that person for a while.

Why it matters
131056 almost always comes from an automation loop: two flows replying to each other, a webhook echo, or a sequence firing repeatedly. A real customer conversation never hits it. The failed messages are not charged, but the customer may have received dozens before the limit engaged.
In VGraple CRM
Flows and automation rules carry loop guards and per-contact rate limits that stop a runaway before Meta does; if 131056 still appears, the message log shows the sequence of sends so the source is obvious. The 131048 and 131056 guide covers both.
