Our API throttling limits are not associated at the account level, but are based upon each access_token which is considered an authenticated user (an extension in RingCentral which is used to authenticate and obtain an access_token using a given set of API Keys).

For Basic Usage Plans, the SMS limit is a Medium API Group. This equates to 40 requests per minute. You can read more about the Usage Plans here: https://developers.ringcentral.com/api-docs/latest/index.html#!#UsagePlanDetails.html

Here's the math for that:

40 * 60 (minutes in hour) * 24 (hours in day) * 30 (rough number of days per month) = 1,728,000

If you need to send 2M SMS messages/month, you would need to have two authenticated users (two user extensions in RingCentral each used to authenticate and obtain an API access_token) on the Basic Usage Plan.
