What are the consequences of exceeding the box’s Pix limit?

How to avoid exceeding box Pix limit?
To prevent you from going over your limit, try to organize your payments, avoid very large transfers on the same day. Pay attention to the schedules and their limits so that even a smaller transaction is not blocked.

Despite the tool being very simple and without fees, Pix can be misused by third parties and cases of fraud are happening. To avoid falling for any type, always be aware of the value received by your own application, do not accept receipt images as the only form of validation, as they can be tampered with.
