Reddit Posting Schedule: How Many Posts Per Day Without Getting Banned

Sylvain Lin
TL;DR

New accounts: max 20 posts/day. Established accounts: max 25/day. Warmup: start at 2-4/day, increase by 4 every 3 days. Scaling: add accounts, don't increase per-account volume. 3 accounts at 20 = 60/day safely.

These are the specific thresholds where Reddit's spam detection activates. Respect them and your accounts stay alive.

The Hard Numbers

20
Max posts/day (new accounts)
Accounts under 2 months old. Stay at or below 20. Consistent posting at this level rarely triggers spam filters.
25
Max posts/day (established accounts)
Accounts 2+ months old with high karma and CQS. Can push to 25 but going above this triggers detection. The extra 5 posts rarely justify the risk.
40-50 posts/day? Some marketers run "burn accounts" at this volume. These accounts get banned within days. If your goal is long-term customer acquisition, stay within the limits.

The Progressive Warmup Schedule

Even after karma farming, you can't jump to 20 marketing posts on Day 1. Reddit detects sudden behavioral changes. The warmup must be gradual:

Days 1-3: 2-4 marketing posts per day

Days 4-6: 6-8 marketing posts per day

Days 7-9: 10-12 marketing posts per day

Days 10-12: 14-16 marketing posts per day

Days 13-15: 18-20 marketing posts per day

Day 16+: Cruise at your max (20 new / 25 established)

Keep commenting genuinely throughout the warmup. Add marketing posts on top of existing engagement, don't replace it. 3-5 genuine comments per day alongside marketing posts maintains the 90/10 ratio.

How to Spread Posts Throughout the Day

20 posts in one 30-minute session is as suspicious as 40 posts spread across a day. Natural posting looks like a human checking Reddit a few times, not a bot dumping content in batches.

Morning (7-9 AM): 6-8 posts across different subreddits. 3-5 min gaps.

Midday (12-2 PM): 6-8 posts. Different subreddits. Include 1-2 genuine comments.

Evening (6-9 PM): 4-6 posts + 2-3 genuine comments/replies.

Scaling: More Accounts, Not More Posts

Need more than 20 posts/day? Add accounts, don't push existing ones harder.

Accounts Posts each Total/day Risk
12020Low
32060Low
520100Low
15050Banned

Each account needs its own proxy, browser profile, and subreddit list (20 per account).

Frequently Asked Questions

How many posts per day is safe?

20 for new accounts. 25 for established. After progressive warmup. Never burst-post all at once.

What is the warmup schedule?

Start at 2-4/day. +4 every 3 days. Reach target in ~2 weeks. Keep genuine comments alongside marketing posts.

How to scale beyond 20/day?

More accounts. 3 accounts at 20 = 60/day safely. Each needs its own proxy and browser profile. See scaling guide.

Should I space out posts?

Yes. 2-3 sessions/day. 3-5 min between posts. Morning + midday + evening distribution looks natural.
