How many posts per day per account is safe?
Three a day per account is the figure most agencies run and the default used in the TIDE numbers. More is possible and raises risk, and the right number depends on account age, warmth and niche.

Three is not a magic number. It is the point where output is meaningful and the pattern still looks like a person who uses Instagram a lot.
What matters more than the count is distribution. Three posts at fixed times every day across every account is a schedule, and schedules are visible. Three posts spread differently per account, per day, is a person.
New accounts should post less and climb. An account three days out of warming behaving like one that has run for two months is the pattern that gets it reviewed.
