Bot whisper limit replying

Since the bot verification take a very long time (1 month without any answer, I like the “3 business days” mentionned on the docs ) I am looking for different solutions in order to contact viewers to give them their gameCode securely.

It takes as long as it takes depending on the queue. And sometimes for a verification you don’t get an answer, they just verify the bot. (check the users endpoint for bot status/flags)

My backup solution (because I can’t whisper them directly) is to ask them to send a whisper to my bot, and it will answer their code.
The system work but I’m wondering about the rate limit.
I’m supposed to be limited at 40 accounts per day, but if I only answer, does these limits apply ?
If a user send me a message and I’m unable to answer because of these limits, it is a little bit strange because it should not be considered as an unsolicited message.

Don’t rely on the whisper system, build a portal instead.
