How many "Hide My Email" addresses can you have? Answered!

Per Apple's policy a user is allowed to create 500 'Hide My Email' addresses. Users can create addresses at a rate of 2 per minute, or 10 every hour. Please note, from my personal experience I have been able to create 20 addresses in a rather short timespan before I was prompted with a 'limit reached' message box that read:


'Email Limit Reached'

'You've hit the limit of addresses you can create right now. Try again later.'


If you are creating hidden email addresses and experience the message above, simply wait 1 hour before attempting to create additional addresses, you should be just fine.


In regards to the limits when creating new Apple IDs (example@icloud.com), iPhones can be used to create up to 10 Apple IDs per year, while MacBooks can be used to create only 5 new Apple IDs per year. This means you will have to wait a full year before being allowed to create any new Apple IDs on either device, once this time has lapsed you will be in the clear to create more. Hope this helps.
