All my pins are manually created and are posted in multiple boards. I have seen some accounts with over 18k pins in single board without any issues. This is also an old account and I've posted pins several times earlier. So, it's not like I created this account only to spam. Currently, I'm trying to get it back but don't know how response their support is.

How many pins per day is normal for Pinterest?
So that I can keep other accounts safe even if I lose this one.

the first rule of automation - never do anything that a real person wouldn't do.

200 posts seems a lot and my guess is you did not do that over 24 hours but in a much shorter time span.

You have to think from a perspective of an average pinterest user to stay safe. How many pins they do on average? Probably 5-6/hour?

I never had any problems with Pinterest in the past, so I was careless. I should've developed it over a few weeks at least. It clearly looks like a spam account. I'll try to organically grow remaining accounts.
 
Well, that was expected, posting 200 pins per day is too much even if the account is aged and warmed up
 
I never had any issues with Pinterest but try and do things with them semi-slow when possible for example like this do a pin every 10 minutes or so so it looks like a real person doing it all whether you do it or bot or program does it.
 
Gone are the days when Pinterest wouldn't care.

Their algorithms have gotten much better and they're fighting spam, not as hard as Instagram but yeah the first step.
Stay under the radar, keep it slow and then grow the pins gradually.
 
I had a weird one with pinterest recently, I started really slow 1 - 5 pins per day, using a mix of tailwind, manual and canva post to pinterest. I lasted about a week before the connection between tailwind and pinterest dropped, I tried to login but couldn't so I reset my password (I knew the password was right) and all was fine. Then I discovered an email from pinterest saying I had been suspended for spamming. I was like WTF! That was about 3 weeks ago and my account seems fine.
 
I believe the average for a manually driven account is between 20-30 pins per day. And yes, spread across a 24 hrs period is better than doing them all at once. My accounts are automated, and I tend to go slightly above the average. A couple of years ago I would do 200+per day per account...but you can't do that these days and hope to get away with it. If you do...you are very very lucky.

@yogib34r - There was a recent 'hiccup' whereby Pinterest seemed to suspend a lot of accounts, and then re-instated them a day or so later. I believe a lot of those accounts were using Tailwind...or at least that is what I heard in the various forums etc. So maybe your account was one of those.

Thanks @Surewin that makes a lot of sense, I've been concerned about increasing it so have kept it all really low numbers. I think I will start slowly increasing to 20 - 30 pins. Cheers
 
200 pins in a day is a lot. Start with a low number first and grow gradually, and stay under the radar by not posting too many pins on a single account. It's better to spread over multiple accounts to be safe.

I have one account per niche. I was testing multiple parasites for a project and thought I can post everything at once and focus on other parasites. I think it triggered their spam filters. I should've distributed the pins over a few days along the timeline. This is a churn & burn account, so it's not a big deal. But I'll be careful from now on about my serious Pinterest accounts.

I have my va posting a max of 20-30 pins per day, per account, when they work on Pinterest.
That's the number of pins I think are not too bad, 30 mins of browsing, and 1 pin a minute is enough for the average user.

But you gave examples of other accounts with 18K pins... so maybe just targeted you specifically..

Pinterest was not like this earlier. I used to post a lot of pins (40-50/day) without any issues. But they started gaining traction after Google started ranking them all over SERPs. Now they are trying to get rid of spammers. I think the 18k pins boards were developed over several years. This is actually a learning for me so that I can keep a low profile for my remaining accounts.
