X link-post limits
X's API charges much more for posts that contain a link, so each plan includes a monthly allowance of X (Twitter) link posts. Text posts, media posts, and retweets are unaffected.
X's API pricing makes posts that contain a link much more expensive to publish than posts without one. To keep PostFast sustainable and fair for everyone, each plan includes a monthly allowance of X (Twitter) posts that contain a link. Text posts, media posts, and retweets are not affected.
Your monthly link-post allowance
Each plan includes a set number of X posts that contain a link, per calendar month. Higher plans include a larger allowance.
For the exact allowance on your plan, see postfa.st/fair-usage, which is always the source of truth.
What counts toward the limit
- Any X post that contains a link. That includes a full web address, a short link like bit.ly, or even a bare domain like example.com.
- A link in the post's first comment also counts. A post with a link in both the text and the first comment counts as two.
- Retweets and posts without any link do not count.
What happens when you reach the limit
- You can keep posting to X as usual. Only posts that contain a link are affected.
- If you try to schedule or publish a link post once you are over your allowance, you'll see a message that you've reached your monthly X link-post limit.
- The allowance resets on the 1st of each month.
Tips
- Not every post needs a link. Text and media posts to X are unaffected.
- If you regularly need more link posts, upgrading your plan raises the allowance.
This monthly link-post allowance is separate from your normal daily posting limits to X, which still apply.
