# Instagram Video Direct-Route Duration Map

Keep general Instagram post duration separate from the direct-publishing interval.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Video ID/duration,post type,account type,direct/manual route and source date.

## Workflow
1. Separate feed posts,Stories andReels.
2. For feed video record documented 3 seconds to20minutes versus3-59seconds direct/auto route.
3. Hold unknown route instead of applying the broad limit to auto-publishing.
4. Return route-specific review,not a scheduled post.

## Output contract
video | post_type | duration | route | applicable_interval | eligibility_hold

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional feed video 90 seconds fits the broad 20 minute limit but not documented 3-59 second direct interval. Do not approve auto-publish from broad duration alone.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
