Will my WhatsApp number get banned if my AI agent uses it?

Short answer: it can. Putting an AI agent on a personal number is an unofficial connection, with any tool, ours included. WhatsApp can restrict a number at any time, without notice, and no provider can reverse that. Anyone who promises "no ban" is guessing. What you can do is lower the risk, and that part is real.

What gets numbers restricted

• Reconnect loops. A process that keeps crashing and reconnecting looks like automation.

• Messages to strangers. First messages to people who never talked to the number are the riskiest thing an agent can do.

• Too much, too fast, especially on a number that was just connected.

• The same text to many people. It looks like spam.

• Another unofficial tool linked to the same number.

What helps most

• A spare number for the agent, not your main one.

• Talking to people who already talk to you.

• Starting slow and letting the number build history.

• Varying the text.

What Felku does on every send

These are the same limits as in the Limits and ban risk docs, the same on every plan: a bigger plan doesn't buy more sending. These are the default (Conservative) limits; the owner can choose a quicker pace within the same caps.

• Seconds between sends: on WhatsApp, 25 to 45 seconds between one send and the next, drawn each time, with

"typing" shown before each message.

• Limits that grow with the connection's age: 4 messages per hour and 20 per day in the first 24 hours, up to

30 per hour and 250 per day after 14 days.

• Optional sending hours: if the owner turns them on (in Sending rules), WhatsApp only starts conversations from 08:00 to 21:00, in the connection's time zone; replying to people who wrote keeps working.

• First messages: at most 3 a day to people who never talked to the number.

• Conver­sations: at most 3 automatic replies in a row without a new message from the person.

• Duplicates and links: the same text to more than 2 people within 24 hours is denied; at most 1 link per message.

• Contact list: the agent only talks to people you allowed. Everyone else is dropped on arrival.

• Automatic pause: drops, send failures, reconnect loops and restriction warnings add points. At 5 points within

1 hour, the connection pauses on its own and only a person resumes it.

What it can't do

It can't make an unofficial connection official, and it can't promise your number won't be restricted. If you need the official route for a business number, use the WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API).
