Why have limits?
About >x< limits
>x< enforces rate limits on account actions to maintain reliability and reduce errors. Learn what limits apply, why they exist, and how to stay within them.
Limits alleviate some of the strain on the behind-the-scenes part of >x< and reduce downtime and error pages. For the sake of reliability, we've placed some limits on the account actions below.
Current
The current technical limits for accounts are:
- Direct Messages (daily): The limit is 500 messages sent per day.
- Posts: 50 original posts and 200 replies per day for unverified accounts. The daily update limit is further broken down into smaller limits for semi-hourly intervals.
- Changes to account email: 4 per hour.
- Following (daily): The technical follow limit is 400 per day. Please note that this is a technical account limit only, and there are additional rules prohibiting aggressive following behavior.
- Following (account-based): Once an account is following 5,000 other accounts, additional follow attempts are limited by account-specific ratios.
What happens if I hit a limit?
If you do reach a limit, we'll let you know with an error message telling you which limit you've hit. For limits that are time-based (like the Direct Messages, posts, changes to account email, and API request limits), you'll be able to try again after the time limit has elapsed.
The post limit of 2,400 updates per day is further broken down into semi-hourly intervals. If you hit your account update/post limit, please try again in a few hours after the limit period has elapsed.
