lives from friends

It is not just level 4131 @kcrusher the daily acceptance limit applies to every level you play. Once you have reached your allowance you can't accept any more lives.

Why this is the case though no one can say as only King know why they have introduced such a limiting rule.

Hi @kcrusher and welcome to our Community! 😊

As Alienscar already mentioned, this doesn't depend on what level you are at. To see how many lives you can receive per day, you need to check the last heart on the right in your inbox.
