Steemit account's BW limit

in #steemit6 years ago

Hi guys!

Today let's talk about the Steemit bandwidth BW limit.

What is the Steemit bandwidth limit? Each of our account here in Steemit has a BW limit. Our account consumes a certain BW, as we do any transactions or movement in our account. For example, writing a content, upvoting, downvoting, resteeming, commenting, transferring of steem/sbd, sending notes and more that can contain any information within our account. The Steemit only allows us to have a limited amount of BW, so we can only have a very limited actions and to prevent some spams. That BW limit can varies according to your current Steem Power SP. The higher your SP is, then the higher or BW limit your account has. It only means if you increase your SP, then your account activity can also be increase.

There are some cases, that a certain user are not able to do any actions, such as upvoting, writing or resteeming a content, because they already reach their BW limit. So, they account are frozen, until their BW limit, replenish itself in time. The BW limit can replenish by a certain portion per hour. Once you reach your BW limit, don't worry, you just need to wait for a few hours, until it back to normal again. If you have more than 100 SP, you will never encounter the freezing of account, due to the BW limit, because you have a high BW limit at that point, but to those who only have a very few SP, then expect the BW limit for a multiple occurrence.

If you want to see your BW limit bar. You can try to visit https://steemd.com/@yourusername (just change yourusername into your account's username).
