What is social media posting pacing?

Social media posting pacing, or per-account pacing, is spacing out scheduled posts so an account's publishing rate stays within a platform's limits. It typically combines a minimum gap between posts on the same account with a daily cap, and spreads a batch across a window instead of publishing everything at the same moment.

How social media posting pacing works at SkedCast#

SkedCast always keeps a minimum gap between posts on the same account. When you publish to several accounts on the same platform at once and have not set your own spread, SkedCast spreads the posts across a default 10-minute window. A single-account post keeps the exact time you chose.

FAQ

Does per-account pacing delay every post I schedule?
No — it only adds delay when it needs to: the minimum-spacing floor only pushes a time later if it would otherwise land too close to that account's last post, and multi-account spreading only applies to same-platform fan-outs, not single-account posts.
