Hi. I have enabeled Rate Limiting. I have set Default Rate Limit per category per hour to 1.
I would expect there would be sent max. 1 post to Twitter per hour.
But sometimes there are more than 10 post pro hour send to Twitter.
Am i doing something wrong?
I am not sending posts but jobs to Twitter (_job_listing). Could that be the cause?
Kind regards, Alfred

There seems to be a new rate limit; total of 10 posts in 24 hours. They updated the policy for the free API account recently.

X updated there policy you mean? What i want is to post 1 job per hour max. I thought i can do that with the option Rate Limiting. But sometimes Xposter post more than 10 jobs in a hour to X.

They did. But your XPoster rate limit problem might be a bug as it’s controlled by the plugin. Sorry for the mixup 😬

No problem. Perhaps Joe Dolson knows if it is a bug or not.

Is there any rate limiting going on at all, or is everything being posted?

I’m wondering whether the problem might be with rate limiting just *not happening*, or if it’s a problem where the rate limits are being reset in some way other than how they should be, resulting in irregular posting.

Everything is being posted. It looks like it doesn’t look at the rate limit settings at all.
I am using a Post Importer. Could it be it doesn’t work when using an Post Importer?
Also, i am not posting posts, I am posting job_listing.
Perhaps thats the problem?

So, the problem you cited initially said “I would expect there would be sent max. 1 post to Twitter per hour.” – that’s not actually a correct assumption. The limits are per term, so that’s actually a max of 1 post per term per hour.

How are you using terms with your job listings? Does each listing have quite a few terms?

I don’t know what you mean with terms. Which terms do you mean?

Are there any tag- or category-like classifications for your job listings?
