With tightening restrictions over the push limit and frequency of vendor channels, the push reach rate and delivery speed are also affected. For specific restrictions, see:
Tencent Push Notification Service provides two channel assignment policies: smart assignment and custom. These policies can help improve the overall push reach rate and delivery speed against the restrictions of the vendor channels.

Channel Policy Overview
Smart assignment
Tencent Push Notification Service will, based on the device status, segment active status, and push channel status, intelligently assign the optimal delivery channel for each device to achieve the following effects:
1. Improve the overall push reach rate.
2. Speed up the message arrival overall.
3. Save the resources of the vendor channels.
Custom channel policy
Currently, vendor channels limit the daily number of pushes. You can choose the channels through which this push can be delivered according to business needs and personalize the push channel delivery policy to save vendor channel resources and maximize the value of pushes.
The table below specifies the delivery rules of a custom policy.
