Instagram Video Direct-Route Duration Map

Keep general Instagram post duration separate from the direct-publishing interval. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

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

How it works

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.

The output

video | post_type | duration | route | applicable_interval | eligibility_hold

Worked fictional example

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.

Checks and limits

Keep source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use qualified review for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No live account compatibility test, send, share, schedule, ledger change or payment is authorized.
