Hey Gang - over the last 6 years our forum has become cluttered with outdated information and spammy posts.
We want to make it easier for you to find the information you are looking for.
As a result, we are migrating to new Forum software soon with one big clean out of posts that are no longer useful.
The new forum will look completely different so don't be shocked when it's launched :)
Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks! -Tube Toolbox
YouTube is currently undergoing site maintenance and should be complete by 1pm PST.
This is causing many Tube Toolbox features to fail at the moment.

These are my current settings. Are these good settings or what would be the fastest I can set them to and it not be out of youtube's standards. (I don't want to get my account banned)

send:
min- 30seconds
max- 1minute

wait:
min- 10minutes
max- 15minutes

The following are limits imposed by YouTube™ (not Tube Toolbox)
•Friend Requests:
~660 per day
~28 per hour

•Messages Sending:
~200 per day
~8 per hour

Note 1: As of March 1, 2011 YouTube requires you to wait 24 hours before sending again after you have reached your daily limit. This means that even though you can get 175 Messages out each day, it averages out to only about 90 per day because every other day you will get 0 out. Unfortunately there is no way around this.
Note 2: You can get up to 500 Messages per day using Account Chaining. This basically means that you set up 5 YouTube accounts and Tube Toolbox will rotate messages between those 5 accounts. More info in our FAQ.
Note 3: When sending messages, YouTube will not allow you to send the exact same message text over and over. This is why we allow you to enter multiple messages and Tube Toolbox will automatically rotate between the messages when sending them out to a group of users.
•Share Video:
~576 per day
~24 per hour

•Post Comment on Video:
~360 per day
~15 per hour

Note: If you would like to stay at your computer and enter security codes (CAPTCHA), then there is no 'sending limit' to worry about. The limit here is if you walk away from your computer and leave Tube Toolbox running.
•Post Comment on Channel:
~360 per day
~15 per hour

Note: If you would like to stay at your computer and enter security codes (CAPTCHA), then there is no 'sending limit' to worry about. The limit here is if you walk away from your computer and leave Tube Toolbox running.

The guide says to use 40/50- seconds min/max but then says a shorter minimum shouldnt be a problem. The video I watched before buying TT showed 10 seconds. So why not just make it 10/30 or anything else? What's the difference? I understand the sending limits don't change with shorter intervals, but 40/50 seems random if shorter minimums don't add risk. I rather use the extra time in a day to gather.

YouTube changes their restrictions and monitoring techniques every so often. We periodically perform testing to try and get the optimal delay timings. That is why if you look through these forum posts or look at our help videos the timings might be different.

Our current recommendations are to set your minimum delay time to 30 seconds, your maximum time to 60 seconds and you wait time to 15 minutes. This blog explains how to set the wait time. The minimum and maximum delay times are set in your setup screen. http://www.tubetoolbox.com/Blog/post/Maximize-Bulk-Actions.aspx

Hey chuck,

I just upgraded today. How do the friend request restrictions for youtube work? With the current settings, Ive sent out 10 request then I am restricted for 15 minutes. The program tried again and was still restricted so it waited another 15 minutes then completed 10 more requests. Is there any longer delay I can put to avoid this restriction.. or do you recommend against this? For example, if my current goal is to get out approx 500 friend requests/day, I would leave the program on and set the delay at 3 minutes which would give me about 480 a day sent out. I wanted to ask before I changed any settings, as the program says to avoid manual changes to them. Also, the reason I havent tried, is I'm kinda worried about keeping the automated stuff on all day even with long delays. Advice here?

You should set your delay timings to the following (the timings don’t have to be exact but should be close to these timings). In our testing, we found these settings to be the optimal settings. If you used the timings you calculated, you would get worse results. Not sure why but it seems like doing bursts of sends and then waiting works better than slowing down the timings. Also, you should review this blog entry as YouTube recently changed their restrictions - http://www.tubetoolbox.com/Blog/post/New-YouTube-Send-Message-Restrictions.aspx

Minimum delay = 30 seconds
Maximum delay = 60 seconds
Minimum Auto retry time = 15 minutes
Maximum Auto retry time = 16 minutes

The minimum and maximum delay timings are set are the corresponding send screen for Send Message, Share Video, Send Friend Request, etc.
Please see this blog posting for instructions on how to change your default Auto retry timings - http://www.tubetoolbox.com/Blog/post/Maximize-Bulk-Actions.aspx.

Yea I thought I was being smart and setting it to like 2min25 seconds or so. but the 30 second/60 second method is working Alot better.

come to think of it thats what I'd do when I was adding friends myself, add a bunch till I hit the limit then try again after a bit.

Thanks!

When I try to set the 15 minute delay, it will either set at 13 minutes 18 seconds or 16 minutes 36 seconds, with nothing in between. Does that mean I need to set the minimum at 16'38". If so, can't the system be set to allow setting it at 15 minutes and 16 minutes?

Just wanted to add my two cents...

I have been able to consistently get more requests out with the following settings:
Minimum delay = 10 seconds
Maximum delay = 15 seconds
Minimum Auto Retry Time = 9min 50sec
Maximum Auto Retry Time = 10min

Before I had TubeToolbox I used to add users by hand from the comments section of videos, and would do as many as permitted one after another... I didn't even wait 10 seconds in between. So there is no reason these settings would be any different that what someone could do by hand (they are actually slower than what I used to do by hand!).

In addition, after sending out 10 requests, YouTube only makes you wait 10 minutes NOT 15 to send again. Because of the 10 seconds AFTER request #10 is sent before it attempts to send #11 and goes into the auto retry delay, you can actually set it to 9 min 50 seconds and have it send again just fine.

Using this method I have consistently gotten out over 1000 requests a day (up to 1400), far more than the 660 TubeToolbox describes with what it claims to be it's "optimal delay settings" in the bulk sending guide.

I have often been wondering about these settings as well lately. When sending video shares, i would notice that even after the 15 minute recommended wait time it still doesn't go through. I think that maybe there might be new wait time parameters.
Would be cool if one of the moderators could find a way to maybe re-look into it.

But im going to try your method with the send delays and so on. See how many more video shares i can get out.

Those time delays were just what I've found works best for friend requests (only).

For video shares:

Minimum delay = 10 seconds
Maximum delay = 15 seconds
Minimum auto retry time = 29min 50sec
Maximum auto retry time = 30min

It will send out 3 groups of 5 messages (15 users total) and then you have to wait 30 minutes
Since it will wait the 10-15 seconds and try to send out another group of messages before realizing it's hit the delay, you can get away with 29min 50sec since it's already waited a few secs before starting that.

This will allow you to get out about 30 per hour or approx 720/day (although it will be slightly less than this with the 10-15 sec delays + the few seconds it takes to process each send).

Thanks very much for sharing your tips saras415 :)

I have been using your settings for Contact Suggestions and Shared Video Messages for the last 2 weeks and they are great.

Thanks for providing your 2 cents worth :)
Worth a lot more than that, as I am now getting more send out per day than before :)

Cheers.

I have been using your settings for video share with 4 ghost accounts. It all sent out no problems so I'm wondering what are your settings for standard message sending?
