## Understanding Post Limits

**Default Behavior (10 posts):**

* Gets the 10 most recent posts
* Good balance between data and processing time
* Sufficient for basic analysis

**Custom Limits:**

* **1-25 posts:** Quick analysis, recent activity only
* **25-50 posts:** Comprehensive recent content review
* **50-100 posts:** Deep content strategy analysis

**Note:** More posts = longer processing time, but same credit cost (10 credits per profile).
