Common questions

What is the character limit?

280 characters on standard accounts and 25,000 on X Premium. ScheduleLater detects your account’s tier and sets the counter accordingly.

How do links count?

Every link counts as 23 characters, regardless of its real length.

What media can a post carry?

Up to 4 photos, or one video up to 2 minutes 20 seconds, at 16:9, 1:1 or 9:16.

Is there a first comment on X?

X has no first-comment concept: a reply is simply another post. ScheduleLater does not fake one, so nothing publishes under your post that you did not write as a post.
