Bluesky rules: rate limits for posting
Last verified August 13, 2026 · re-checked weekly · 1 rule
Bluesky publishes exact numbers for its rate limits, which makes it the easiest platform to budget for. The limits are generous for any realistic posting schedule.
Rate limits far above posting cadence
API limitsWrites are limited per account via a points system: 5,000 points/hour and 35,000/day, with CREATE=3, UPDATE=2, DELETE=1 - at most 1,666 record creations per hour and 11,666 per day. Unchanged since Aug 2023. The least constrained platform in the stack.
What to do: No practical posting ceiling at our volumes; standard backoff on 429 responses is sufficient.
