This is a significant reduction from the previous limit of 2,400 posts per day.
X has implemented new restrictions aimed at incentivizing users to pay for “verification” on its platform. This change has sparked frustration among long-time users. Reports on X and Reddit indicate that the platform has quietly imposed a cap on the number of posts permitted for unverified accounts. According to the updated X Help Center, users with unverified accounts are now limited to “50 original posts and 200 replies per day.”
This new limit marks a drastic decrease from the previous allowance of 2,400 posts per day. Notably, while the updated Help Center page still mentions the old 2,400 posts per day limit, X now provides notifications to users when they reach the new posting limits, accompanied by an error message indicating which limit has been exceeded.
This decision may be part of X’s ongoing efforts to reduce spam and bot activity on the platform, a strategy that began with the introduction of the “about this account” feature in October, which reveals the geographical location of accounts. many users who are dissatisfied with these new posting restrictions fear that this may drive them away from the platform. For those looking to continue posting freely, X Premium offers a Basic tier starting at just $3 per month or $32 annually.
