title: iOS app and APNS limits
body: <p>I am building (well built) an app using Air and AS3 that uses push notifications. The app allows users to share information with other app users (open forum to all users) but I was wondering a few things which I couldn't find information on.</p>
  
  <p>I have found some information but they seem old (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2170227/is-there-a-traffic-limit-on-apples-push-notification-service">Is there a traffic limit on Apple&#39;s Push Notification Service?</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6421252/apple-push-notification-limitation">apple push notification limitation</a>) so thought I would check.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>How often am I allowed to query the APNS service? At the moment I queue all notifications in a table and once every 3 minutes I run a batch script to prepare the payload and send. There could be thousands of notifications to be sent every 3 mins.</li>
  <li>Are there limits to how many notifications I can send hourly, daily, monthly etc</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Users do have the option to turn off notifications in the app (and device) settings but thought I would check if someone knows this information.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
