I don't do this myself but there is a FAQ entry on it if that helps--

Nagios has no notification limitations like that. The script that is
sending the page could keep track of the number of notifications in a DB
or flat file and reset to 0 each month. You'd have to tell it what to do
when it exceeded the limit of course.
