Why did my lemlist emails sent drop?
The lemlist help pages give 5 common reasons. The first to rule out: lemlist can slow your sending on purpose when more emails bounce, to protect your sending reputation.
Is it broken, or just quiet?
A number can fall because fewer people came, or because something stopped counting them. Below are the causes the lemlist help pages give, and how to check each one yourself.
What causes it?
lemlist can slow your sending on purpose when more emails bounce, to protect your sending reputation.

How do I check it myself?
Compare your daily sends with what lemlist could send, not with your limit. The limit is a ceiling, and lemlist can send fewer.

The daily sending limit you configure in lemlist acts as a maximum cap, not a guaranteed number of emails to be sent.
Understand lemlist's sending algorithm, read 2026-11-12.When you count sends by calendar day, expect some days to look uneven, because the limit resets on a rolling 24 hours.

How would I know the day it starts?
- Feder reads your emails sent and your email replies from lemlist each day and compares each day with your own history.
- It tells you when emails sent go quiet or move outside their usual range.
Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.
See what Feder reads from lemlist, which feeds Reach. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in lemlist.
