Best way to calculate 24 hours window of Facebook Messenger

I notice Facebook Messenger Policy stated that the Page won't be able to send the user a message after 24 hours session/window ended.

I am trying to iterate over a list of Facebook User PSIDs, and send some update to them. For those users that are outside of 24 hours window, I would not want to send any message to them.

I have researched over the Facebook Messenger Graph API and found few of the API are suitable for use to calculate.

  1. To get the user conversation ID https://graph.facebook.com/v16.0/<PAGE_ID>/conversations?platform=messenger&user_id=<USER_ID>
  2. To get the user message list containing Message ID https://graph.facebook.com/v16.0/<CONVERSATION_ID>?fields=messages
  3. To get the user specific message https://graph.facebook.com/v16.0/<MESSAGE_ID>?fields=from,to,message

By using this method, I am able to know when is the last message sent by the user. But there are downside to this approach because just for a single user, I have to call multiple APIs and it might reach the Facebook Messenger Rate Limit.

Does anyone here have better solution in order to check this problem?
