## Frequently asked questions

### What is the character limit on X?

Standard posts on X allow 280 characters; verified subscribers can post longer. The counter flags when you exceed a platform's limit.

### What is Instagram's caption limit?

Instagram captions can be up to 2,200 characters, though only the first ~125 show before the 'more' cutoff, so front-load the important text.
