"Allow 3 seconds" Error

The "Allow 3 seconds" error is a system message from OnlyFans that appears when attempting to send certain requests too frequently (e.g. publishing posts and sending direct/priority messages more often than OnlyFans allows).

Understanding the Issue

This error occurs due to the following reasons:

• Publishing posts and sending direct/priority messages too frequently.

• There is an incorrect Time Delay in Priority Mass Messages

OnlyFans limits the frequency of certain actions to ensure they are performed by a single creator in a natural manner. The platform restricts some requests to once every 3 seconds, assuming that one person cannot perform multiple actions within that timeframe.

Priority Mass Messages & Incorrect Time Delay

• The Priority Mass Messages feature sends individual private messages to each fan with a customizable time interval.

• If the time interval is set too short, OnlyFans may detect it as spam and trigger the "Allow 3 Seconds" error.

Share-for-Share (SFS) Limitations

• The OnlyFans system does not differentiate between scheduled and regular publishing.

• If multiple SFS posts are scheduled too close together, the system may flag them, resulting in errors.

Solutions

1. Identify the Cause of the Error

• If the error occurs due to multiple actions performed at the same time, prioritize the most important action and pause the others temporarily.

1. Adjust the Time Delay in Priority Mass Messages

• If sending to 450 fans or fewer, set the time delay to 3 seconds per message.

• If sending to more than 450 fans, increase the delay to at least 4-5 seconds to prevent system detection as spam.

By following these adjustments, you can avoid disruptions, ensure messages are sent successfully, and comply with OnlyFans' limits.
