## Description

This error occurs when requests involving a specific phone number are sent more frequently than Twilio's allowed rate limits. The system blocks further requests to prevent abuse or accidental flooding.

### Possible Causes

The same phone number is being used in multiple requests within a short time frame. The same phone number is included multiple times within a single BULK request. There is a loop or logic error in your application that causes repeated or rapid submissions for the same number. Bulk operations are not properly throttled or batched.

### Possible Solutions

Review your application logic to ensure each phone number is only included once per request. Implement rate limiting or throttling in your code to avoid sending requests for the same phone number too quickly. Add checks to prevent duplicate submissions of the same phone number within a single request.
