These Message Rate-Limitations are Temporary, and will subside in time, for the affected users. The limitation time can vary, based on the user's recent message initiation volume.
The limits do NOT affect existing conversations. Users are free to continue conversing on existing conversations, but they can experience some "Cool-Down Time", if they have been creating too many new conversations recently.
We encourage users to have meaningful dialogue with the many existing conversations they have already initiated.
Also, please be mindful when starting new conversations with users you have not communicated with before. Try to identify users who have mutual interests with you, by checking out their profile carefully, before initiating contact.

Note:
A number of users complaining about the Messaging limits (not the OP in particular) currently have pending Reports on their Private Messages:
"Reason: Pornographic, unsolicited nudity or other sexually explicit content (1 week ago)"
We have a duty to protect users from harassment. The majority of harassment and abuse on this platform, likely happens via Private Messages, especially when users are not constrained in the number of new conversations they can initiate.
Has anyone got this message before? Im getting it almost every time I try to send a new message and I don't know why I have never gotten that message before

There is no such limitation on existing conversations.
(Unless the user has blocked you, or some other algorithm such as Minor-Age safety, has kicked in.)
Having initiated over 60 New Conversations in the past month, you should have lots of users to continue chatting with, while you wait on your temporary limitation expires.
Somebody messaged me and I can’t reply because of the NEW STUPID RULE Am looking for a new site! Any ideas?
@Strictmichael75 No ideas for new sites but I am curious - if they messaged you first then shouldn't you be able to respond unless they blocked you? BTW if someone messages then blocks, you can still read their message but just cannot reply.
