sending daily limit on emails

I have had my email for five years. I now see a message that I sent too many emails. How can I increase my daily limit? I checked my phone number and even paid an extra $19 for some service but still no more emails can be sent.

Dependent on your accounts reputation these are the limits.

The sending limit for outgoing email messages is 300 (three hundred) messages per day. Maximum 100 per email.

The limit is lower for new accounts and when Outlook.com has spotted what it deems suspicious activity
(a large and sudden increase in outgoing messages may indicate your account has been taken over, for example)

How Many To, Cc and *****Bcc ***** Recipients are Allowed Per Message

You can add up to 100 (one hundred) recipients per message in Outlook.com
Again, suspicious activity can lead to a temporarily lower limit (as low as 10 (ten) recipients).

If you’ve been notified that you have hit some limit on a Microsoft product, it’s almost certainly part of an effort to reduce spam.
You can also increase your limit simply by continuing to use your email normally
It only takes a few days of normal activity to increase the limits—that gives us enough time to detect automated spam machines and accounts that have been hacked.
We’re constantly working to make things worse for spammers and better for real people.

The send mail limit depends on your reputation within Outlook.com
The system needs a few days to build your reputation.
So, there are stricter limitations on new accounts or accounts that have engaged in activity that is representative of abusers sending spam.

If you are a new user, a low sending quota is a temporary restriction and is upgraded to the maximum limit as soon as the user establishes credibility in the system.
If you are an established user, recent account activity may have sent us a false alert.

Note: Recipients is different from emails - 1 email with 5 recipients' counts as 5 emails, not 1.

You may be able to raise the limits by getting a one-time verification code sent to your mobile phone.
