Binance price alerts: the real limits.
Binance's native alerts are capped at 10 per pair and 50 total, and every one of them silently expires after 90 days. If your alerts 'stopped working', that expiry is the most likely reason. Here are the limits as Binance documents them, the actual fixes, and what to do when 50 isn't enough.
Three limits, straight from Binance's FAQ
Binance documents its price-alert limits in its own support FAQ, and they are stricter than most people expect: at most 10 alerts per trading pair, 50 alerts total across your account, and every alert is valid for 90 days — after which it's deleted automatically, with no notice. Delivery is app and desktop push only: no email, no Telegram, no webhooks.
For a casual watchlist that's workable. For anyone tracking more than a handful of levels — or setting alerts they expect to still exist next quarter — it's a treadmill: re-creating the same alerts every 90 days inside an app that files them between staking promos.
Why alerts quietly disappear
When a Binance alert "stops working", the first thing to check isn't your phone — it's the calendar. Binance's FAQ states each alert is valid for 90 days. When that window closes, the alert is removed automatically. There's no expiry warning, no "your alert lapsed" push — the price crosses your level and nothing happens, because the alert no longer exists.
This is the single most common cause of "Binance alerts not working" complaints, and no amount of cache-clearing fixes it. The alert didn't break. It aged out.
Alerts genuinely not firing? Run this list
If your alert is younger than 90 days and still didn't fire, work through these in order — they cover essentially every reported cause:
- 01Confirm the alert still exists
Open the pair in the Binance app → alert icon. If the list is empty, it expired or hit a cap — re-create it. This resolves more cases than everything below combined.
- 02Check notification permissions
System settings → Binance → notifications allowed, and inside the app: Profile → Notification settings → price alerts on. Both switches must be on; an OS-level block silences everything.
- 03Disable battery optimization for the app
Aggressive battery savers (common on Android) kill background push. Exempt Binance from optimization, or alerts arrive hours late or never.
- 04Update the app
Alert delivery has broken on outdated versions before. Update, force-close, reopen.
- 05Check you're under the caps
10 per pair, 50 per account. At the ceiling, new alerts silently fail to save or replace nothing — prune dead ones first.
- 06Check Do Not Disturb and notification channels
DND schedules and muted notification categories swallow alert pushes. Send yourself a test alert at a price about to cross to verify end-to-end.
When 50 alerts isn't a watchlist
If you're hitting the caps or tired of the 90-day treadmill, the fix isn't another support thread — it's moving the alerts off Binance's engagement stack entirely. coinsentry watches Binance's real price feed — the same numbers that trigger Binance's own alerts — and applies none of the limits: unlimited alerts that never expire, delivered a median 2.8 seconds after the cross to Telegram, Discord, Slack, email or webhooks. No Binance account connection, no API keys — public prices only, so there's nothing to revoke and no funds at risk.
$7.99/mo, or $64.99/yr ($5.42/mo). Every account starts with 30 days of unlimited, no card — then a free plan of 10 price alerts, listing and delisting alerts on 1 exchange and 3 watched coins, to email and private Telegram, forever.
Fair questions, straight answers
Binance caps native price alerts at 10 per trading pair and 50 total per account, and each alert is valid for 90 days — per Binance's own support FAQ. coinsentry alerts on Binance pairs are unlimited and never expire.
The most common cause is silent expiry: every Binance alert is valid for 90 days, then it's gone without any notification. Other usual suspects are notification permissions, an outdated app, and the 50-alert account cap.
Yes. Each alert is valid for 90 days, per Binance's FAQ. There's no renewal reminder — the alert just stops existing, which is why alerts seem to 'stop working' about a quarter after you set them.
Not natively — Binance delivers price alerts as app and desktop push only. coinsentry watches the same Binance feed and delivers to Telegram, Discord, Slack, email or webhooks — email + private Telegram on the free plan, all five on Unlimited.
You can't raise Binance's cap. The way around it is a third-party watcher on Binance's public feed: coinsentry has no alert cap, no expiry, and needs no Binance account connection or API keys.
