Why does YouTube say posting is paused?
Socialync reached YouTube's daily API limit on its end, which resets at midnight Pacific. A scheduled upload waits once for the reset and tries again, and if it still cannot go out it is saved to drafts. If you want to publish sooner, upload the video directly on YouTube.

Other YouTube messages
- YouTube Upload Limit: YouTube sets a daily upload limit for each channel. The message asks you to wait before uploading more videos.
- YouTube Blocked This Upload: YouTube refused the upload for this channel. Your connection and permissions check out, so the block is set on YouTube's side. Open YouTube Studio and look for a channel warning or upload restriction, then try posting again.
- YouTube Reconnection Needed: this is a separate message. Tap Reconnect in Settings, Connections.
