   • To prevent malicious users from attacking subscription endpoints, SMN limits the number of confirmation messages that can be sent to an endpoint within a specified period. For details, see Traffic Control over Subscription Confirmation.
   • SMN does not check whether subscription endpoints exist when you add subscriptions. However, subscribers will not receive notification messages until they confirm their subscriptions.
   • After you add a subscription and request subscription confirmation, SMN sends a message that contains a link for confirming the subscription to the subscription endpoint. The subscription confirmation link is valid within 48 hours. Confirm the subscription on your mobile phone, mailbox, or other endpoints in time.
   • Subscription confirmation messages will be counted as messages sent and will be billed.
