Why You'll Love It

Rate limits are frustrating but inevitable when posting at scale. Statuz turns a workflow-stopping error into a minor delay that resolves itself. You're notified, informed of timing, and posts publish automatically when possible.

Pro Tips

  • Space out scheduled posts to avoid hitting limits
  • X has strict rate limits - be especially careful with rapid posting
  • Rate limit notifications show exact reset time - you can plan accordingly
  • Automatic retry happens in background - no action needed
  • Cancel retry if you want to manually reschedule instead
  • Multiple accounts help distribute load and avoid limits
  • Premium X API (if you have it) has higher limits
  • Mastodon limits vary by instance - check your instance's policies
  • BlueSky limits are generally more permissive than X
  • Exponential backoff means repeated failures wait progressively longer
