Why a queued post is waiting
What each "waiting" reason in your Schedule means — spacing, daily capacity, queue order, a set time, your posting hours, or manual approval.
A post in your Schedule that hasn't gone out yet shows one of these reasons.
Check these in order
- Spacing out your posts, at least 45 minutes apart on each platform — EverySqueeze spaces posts on the same platform out, so this one is waiting for that gap.
- Today's back-catalog limit is used — goes tomorrow, or waiting for [platform] daily capacity — that platform (or your back-catalog posting) has reached its planned amount for today; this post goes out once more capacity opens, today or tomorrow.
- In line behind earlier posts — other posts are queued ahead of this one; it goes out once they've gone.
- Held until its set time, or waiting for its planned time inside your posting window — this post has a specific time (or a window) it's waiting to reach.
- Waiting for your posting hours (with the hours shown, if set) — this post is ready but your posting window for the day hasn't opened yet.
- You approve every post by hand — your posting mode is set to approve everything yourself, so this post waits for you rather than going out automatically.
Still stuck?
If a post has been waiting far longer than its reason explains, use Report a problem (in Pip's menu or the Help button) or ask Pip from the chat button in the corner.
