The simple answer is NO .

There is no limit. However, there are some throttling measures in place!

To prevent abuse (such as sending a flood of messages to a device) and to optimize for the overall network efficiency and battery life of devices, GCM implements throttling of messages using a token bucket scheme. If an application collapse key exhausts its supply of available tokens, new messages are buffered in a pending queue until new tokens become available at the time of the periodic grant.

Google has took away this limit after replacing C2DM with GCM. There is only limit on stored messages on GCM server. If that limit gets over, then all the messages get discarded.

http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/c2dm.html#history

Prior to GCM (when it was still called C2DM): https://developers.google.com/android/c2dm/#limitations)

The only limits you run into the GCM documentation is this: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/adv.html#lifetime
