Arjan is right, you are allowed 10 downlink messages a day when using TTN and a confirmation packet counts as a downlink packet. See [this](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/limitations-data-rate-packet-size-30-seconds-uplink-and-10-messages-downlink-per-day-fair-access-policy/1300) message where he summarizes the limitations. You can find the limits confirmed in [this WIKI article](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/wiki/LoRaWAN/Duty-Cycle) authored by one of the TTN core team members. (Search for fair access policy on the page)
