Daily limits
Threads allows 250 posts and 1,000 replies per profile in any 24 hours. Watchpost checks the live counters before each post.
Threads
Schedule Threads posts, polls and reply chains
Schedule Threads posts with photos, videos, carousels, polls, GIFs and link previews. Build multi-part threads, choose who can reply and share to your Instagram Story automatically.
No card needed.
Availability: Threads posting depends on Meta approving Watchpost for public use. Until then, only profiles Meta has approved as testers can connect.
