That’s down from the previous 2,400 posts per day limit.

Thrive Studios ID/Shutterstock 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.
