Key takeaways
- X caps unverified accounts at roughly 50 original posts and 200 replies per day in the app; API access is tiered separately, from about 17 posts/day on the free tier up to 300/day on Pro.
- Platforms change these limits without much notice — treat this as a checkpoint, not a permanent guarantee.
X post limit per day: native app limit
- Unverified accounts: roughly 50 original posts and 200 replies per day
- Verified (premium) accounts are generally exempt from this cap
API tiers
- Free tier: roughly 17 posts per day
- Basic tier: up to 100 posts per day
- Pro tier: up to 300 posts per day
Why this matters for a scheduler
Which limit applies depends on how a tool connects to X — via the app-equivalent limit or a specific API tier — so check which tier the tool you use is on if you’re running high volume.
