What is social media posting pacing?

Social media posting pacing — also called anti-ban pacing — is spacing out and staggering scheduled posts so an account's publishing rate never trips a platform's spam or rate-limit defenses. It typically combines a minimum gap between posts on the same account with a daily cap, sometimes adding small randomized delays so multiple accounts don't post in an obvious, identical pattern.

How social media posting pacing works at SkedCast#

SkedCast enforces an always-on minimum-spacing floor between posts on the same account, and automatically applies a default 10-minute spread with deterministic per-account jitter when several accounts on the SAME platform are fanned out together and the caller hasn't set their own spread — a single-account post keeps the exact time you chose.

FAQ

Does anti-ban 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.
