Key takeaways
- Bluesky has no fixed daily post-count limit — it rate-limits all write actions through a shared points budget (5,000/hour, 35,000/day), giving a theoretical ceiling around 1,666 posts/hour.
- Platforms change these limits without much notice — treat this as a checkpoint, not a permanent guarantee.
Bluesky post limit per day: how the points budget works
- Rate limit: 5,000 points per hour, 35,000 points per day
- A single post creation costs 3 points
- Theoretical ceiling: roughly 1,666 posts per hour, about 11,666 per day
- The same budget also covers likes, follows, reposts and other write actions — not posts alone
Why this rarely matters in practice
For a typical account or scheduling workflow, hitting even the hourly points ceiling would require an extreme volume of combined actions — this limit is designed to stop abusive automation, not to constrain normal high-volume scheduling. SkedCast paces Bluesky posts far below this ceiling by default (roughly 1,000/day with 30-second spacing) as a separate, self-imposed anti-spam measure.

FAQ
- How many times can I post on Bluesky per day?
- There’s no fixed daily post-count limit — Bluesky instead rate-limits write actions through a shared points budget of 5,000/hour and 35,000/day.
- How is the Bluesky rate limit actually calculated?
- Every write action costs points — a post costs 3 — so the budget converts to a theoretical ceiling of roughly 1,666 posts per hour, though that budget is shared with likes, follows and reposts too.
- Will normal scheduled posting ever hit Bluesky’s rate limit?
- Very unlikely for typical use — the limit targets abusive automation volumes, well above what a normal posting schedule requires.
