**Error code 131057** occurs when your WhatsApp Business Account enters maintenance mode. During this time, you may be unable to send messages or perform other account-related actions and get the following error message: **“Business Account is in maintenance mode”.**

## What Does Maintenance Mode Mean?

When your account is in maintenance mode, it means:

1. The account is temporarily unavailable for use.

2. It may be undergoing system updates or a throughput upgrade. In case of throughput upgrade your account will return to normal functionality within a few minutes.


## What to Do When You Encounter This Error?

### 1\. Wait for a Few Minutes

Maintenance mode is usually brief and most accounts are restored to full functionality within minutes.

### 2\. Contact Support

If your account remains in maintenance mode for an extended period, contact WhatsApp Business Support through your Meta Business Manager.
