Schedule node does not work as scheduled for X account

As the full page screenshot of my entire workflow called social media post automation shows that I have integrated both Facebook page and X account using HTTP nodes.

Problem : - described based on the case observed

  1. The schedule trigger was set with 10 minutes interval at 23:31 and let it continue till 02:11. within this time frame, Facebook posts were published smoothly without any after each 10 minutes interval.
  2. But the problem was with X account. Though the first two X posts were published as expected, the third one was skipped. Then it kept posting each 10 minutes interval except a double posting at 1:01 as the previous post was at 1:10. However, although I continued the workflow till 02:11, X account stopped posting at 01:11.

Hi @Md_Farid_Hossain,

Could you please share the execution error logs that show any errors on the third attempt to post?





Hi @Md_Farid_Hossain,
Thank you for the detailed screenshots,

From what I can see, it looks like you’re hitting a rate limit. If you’re using the free tier of X’s API, you’re allowed only 17 requests within a 24-hour period. Once you exceed that, you’ll start seeing errors or skipped posts.

Since you mentioned that you’re triggering posts every 10 minutes, that would reach the 17-request limit in less than 3 hours. That would explain why some posts were skipped or stopped altogether after a certain point.

Thanks for you such rapid feedback. But I have got another point to share with you.
Earlier I set longer interval like 4 or 6 hours still, in that case there was no trigger at all meaning no post was published, in this case though the post content size was longer like 3-4 hundred words, while the post content size of the workflow tested with 10 minutes interval was nearly three times shorter.

No problems, @Md_Farid_Hossain

That sounds like a separate issue. I’d do the same, open the execution logs and check what the response says If it mentions something like a restriction on tweet size, that could be a clue…

It’s hard to say exactly what the issue is without seeing the specific error message…
