Limit of uploads

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 social account. These limits are NOT global to your Upload-Post user.
    • Example: If you manage 5 Profiles, and each Profile has its own TikTok account connected, you get the full limit for each TikTok account. (e.g., 5 TikTok accounts × 15 posts = 75 posts per day total).
  • 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.
