But there are no hard exact rules. I think Soundcloud varies the numbers depending on IP / account age etc.
And they change it, often.
I used to try and workout the Soundcloud limits for commenting / messaging / following per hour / unfollowing and let everyone know who asked. But then people would assume these values are exact and push up to these limits -1.
Then one day they got their accounts mass banned and thought it was my fault. Any limits I find out can only be stated as.
This does not mean you can favourite 3900 and not get banned. Well today maybe it does. But tomorrow maybe not.I favourited 4000 tracks in one hour then got banned
What works today may not work tomorrow. So just take any figures as rough estimates, not exact.
So now I do not give out any Soundcloud limit information I may have as it isn't useful. What I do say is
Also I recommend going A LOT lower than any "assumed" limits. If the limit is 4,000, then stick at 2000.Think how Soundcloud *MIGHT* try and detect bots, then do not do that.
If you can follow up to 2000 users, do not follow more than 1500.
I think soundcloud detects users that go up to / or close to the limit regulary and uses that as a metric for bot detection. So do not follow 2000 users for a week, then unfollow all. Then repeat.
Why not follow up to 1500 (yes we have that feature) as a maximum. But set up a routine to follow 100 users every day and repeat every 24 hours (yes we have that feature). Then every day unfollow 100 users (max) who you have followed for OVER 7 days and they have NOT followed you back.
Slow and steady, little by little.
You want to be setting up routines that work like normal users, not bots cranked up on speed
