I have been trying to add an email alias to existing hotmail account. I keep on getting the error, "We limit how frequently you can add aliases to your account. Please try again later." I have not attempted in 2 days and still getting the same error.

    Hello,

    Here is the limit for adding alias - it’s twice per 7 days and 10 a year. If you have only waited 2 days, you have to wait til 7 days have passed.

    Unfortunately, the provided context does not contain specific information on how to remove limitations on attempts to add email aliases to a Hotmail account. It is common for email services to impose such limits to prevent abuse, and typically, these restrictions can only be lifted by waiting for a specified period. If you continue to experience issues, I recommend checking the official Microsoft support resources or forums for further assistance.
