“WhatsApp messages are limited to 1600 characters” If that is UTF32 we have 51200 bytes or 50kB per message.

“the basic free accounts I was using rate-limit to ~1QPS” That is 400kbit/s. Can we have multiple accounts? 40 accounts would give us a theoretical maximum speed of 16Mbit/. Would probably closer to 10Mbit/s in real life, enough to watch movies.
