Honest status: needs the network’s approval
What X requires of TallyReel Post: Paid API tier needed for meaningful posting volume. TallyReel Post’s connect screen shows whether X is live yet — if it isn’t, we say so instead of letting posts fail.
Best time to post on X
X’s timeline moves fast, so a post’s first hour matters more here than almost anywhere else. Weekday commute and lunch windows are the safe starting point; if you post several times a day, spread posts at least a couple of hours apart so they don’t compete with each other.
TallyReel Post starts every account from the same baseline — weekday peaks at 8 AM, 12 PM, 5 PM, 6 PM, weekend peaks at 10 AM, 11 AM, 7 PM, 8 PM, in your audience’s local time — and after about 20 published posts shifts it toward the hours that actually work for you.

- Lead with the hook in the first 10 words. 1–2 hashtags max.
- Links always count as 23 characters on X, however long the URL is. TallyReel Post counts them the same way, so you can paste full tracking links without guessing.
- Emoji and flags count as one character each here, not two.
- Put the point of the post before any link — the preview card takes up space and people decide in the first line.
X scheduling FAQ
Can I schedule threads?
Not yet. Each scheduled X post is a single post. If you need a thread today, schedule the opening post and reply to it when it’s live.
Why does my long link only count as 23 characters?
Because X shortens every link with its t.co service and charges 23 characters for it. TallyReel Post’s counter applies the same rule.
What’s the character limit on X?
280 characters. TallyReel Post counts the way X does, so the number you see is the number X will check.
Is X scheduling free?
Yes — every feature and every network is free while TallyReel Post is in beta, with no card required. Beta users will get plenty of notice before paid plans start.
Put X on autopilot — gently.
