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
