Can unused promotional SMS credits be carried forward to the next month?

Can unused promotional SMS credits be carried forward to the next month?

⚡Quick answer -

• No—any unused “Promo SMS” credits are automatically reset to zero at 23:59 (local time) on the last calendar day of the month.

• A fresh monthly quota (e.g., 1,000 credits on the Basic plan) appears at 00:01 on the 1st.

• Credits can only be preserved by sending them before the reset or by downgrading/upgrading the plan to match your real usage.


Why aren’t unused credits carried forward? 

• Promotional SMS pricing is negotiated on monthly volume commitments with carriers.

• Rolling over unused messages would inflate next-month send rates and violate carrier policies.
