    Choose what to add

Good to know

  • X charges developers for posts that contain links, so each paid plan includes a monthly allowance of X link posts per X account. Posts without links are not counted. The allowance for each plan is on the pricing page.
  • Near your allowance? Put the link in a reply to your own post, or in your bio.
  • Standard X accounts can post up to 280 characters, with every link counting as 23.

Common problems

"X has locked this account"

Log in at x.com and follow X's steps to restore the account, then retry.

"X blocked this as a duplicate of a recent post"

Change the text and retry.
