Bluesky video length limit: how it has grown

A note on third-party scheduling tools
A platform-level limit increase doesn’t automatically mean every connected app supports the new ceiling immediately — check the specific length a scheduling tool accepts for Bluesky rather than assuming it matches the platform’s current native maximum on the day of a change like this one.
