Social Hard Caps Per Network

To protect your connected accounts and stay compliant with each social network, Upload-Post enforces platform hard caps using a rolling 24-hour window. When a cap is reached for a specific account on a given network, further posts to that account/network are rejected until the window rolls over.

  • What counts toward the cap: only successful publishes recorded for that account/network in the last 24 hours.
  • Scope: per connected account, per social network.
  • Scheduled posts: caps are re-checked at execution time; if the cap is already reached, the publish will be rejected then.

What else the verifier checks

  • Duplicate/similar content within 48h (per account/network) to reduce spam risk and shadow bans.
  • Mention limits to avoid spammy behavior (e.g., excessive mentions or repeating the same handle too frequently).
  • Media and content sanity checks evolve over time to align with network guidelines.
