Can the selection attempts on 12123 be restored after being used up?

12123 selection attempts cannot be restored after being used up. Here are the specific details: Methods for selecting a license plate after attempts are exhausted: If the five selection attempts in the 12123 software are used up without confirming the selected license plate number combination, or if the operation times out during the selection process, you cannot use the 12123 software to self-select a license plate number again. In this case, you must prepare all the necessary vehicle registration documents and go to the local vehicle management office to complete the license plate selection and registration process. Unlike the self-selection feature in the 12123 software, the selection machine at the vehicle management office only allows you to choose from fifty randomly provided license plate number combinations.
I think this is a pretty common situation. When you've used up all your license plate selection attempts on the 12123 APP, the system doesn't allow manual restoration. It automatically refreshes the count every day at midnight, similar to how mobile games offer daily free draws. If you exhaust all your chances for the day, you'll have to patiently wait until the next day to try again, or consider going to the DMV for on-site plate selection. I encountered this issue before when helping a friend with transfer registration and plate selection. Everyone was quite anxious at the time, but we later realized that preparing a list of backup plate numbers in advance or operating in batches could prevent trouble. After all, the 12123 service is designed as a free platform to ensure fairness and minimize opportunity abuse.
