"X has introduced some more incentive to get users to pay for "verification" on its platform, but the new limitation may have angered some longtime users. As seen on X and Reddit, users are reporting that X has quietly restricted the amount of posts allowed for those without the blue checkmark. Now, the X Help Center page on limits reads that posts are limited to "50 original posts and 200 replies per day for unverified accounts.""
"Compared to cached versions of the same Help Center page, the new limit is much lower than the previous "2,400 per day" rule. Interestingly, the updated page still references the 2,400 updates per day restriction. However, X will inform users of when they hit the new limits and which limit they reached with an error message."
"This move could be a part of X's campaign to cut down on spam and bot activity on the platform, as seen when it introduced the " about this account" feature in October that reveals where an account is based. However, those unhappy with this restriction said it could result in more users leaving the platform. For those who want to stick around and post to their heart's content, X Premium's most affordable option, its Basic tier, starts at $3 a month or $32 per year."
X has introduced tighter daily posting limits for unverified accounts. The X Help Center states that unverified accounts can make 50 original posts and 200 replies per day. Cached versions previously showed a much higher limit of 2,400 posts per day. The updated limit page still references the older 2,400 updates per day rule, but X will notify users when they reach the new limits and indicate which limit was hit through an error message. The change may aim to reduce spam and bot activity. Some users expect the restriction to drive people away. X Premium Basic is offered as a lower-cost option for users who want to post without the unverified limits.
