You Haven’t Published Enough Posts
We need enough data to calculate your Best Times to Post. If you haven’t published 50 feed posts in the last 6 months, excluding the last 2 weeks, you won’t be able to see your Best Times to Post. If you don’t have enough posts, we’ll show you how many more you need.
Note: Instagram Reels and IGTV posts do not count towards your needed 50 posts. This is a limitation set by Instagram.
