## Understanding boost cooldowns

At Lempod, we have clear rules in place to keep things fair for everyone. If you’ve deleted a post after boosting it, you might be wondering why you still can’t boost again right away.


### 🧠 I deleted the post — why do I still need to wait?

Even if you delete a post, the boost you used is still counted. Deleting a post **does not reset your boost cooldown**. This ensures that the system isn’t misused by repeatedly deleting and reboosting content to get around the rules.

Please refer to our [Boost Frequency Limit](https://support.lempod.com/hc/en-us/articles/47959666679961--Boost-Frequency-Limit) article for full details on how the cooldown works.


### 🔁 What counts as a boost?

A boost is registered the moment it’s activated — whether or not the post stays published. So deleting the post **after** boosting it doesn’t “undo” the boost.


### 🚫 Repeated early boosting attempts

Trying to boost repeatedly during the cooldown period may result in your account being flagged for abuse. This helps maintain fairness across the entire platform.


### ✅ What to do instead

* Wait for the cooldown to finish before boosting again

* Only boost when your post is ready to stay live

* Contact support if your post had a legitimate issue that required deletion


### 💬 Need help?

We’re here for you! Message our support team and we’ll review your account’s boost activity to clarify any questions you might have.
