Window-Boundary & Time-Zone Rules on Counts

A market asking how many times an account posts 'today' has to define today, and the definition is frequently ET while the account's activity clusters in another time zone — which moves a meaningful share of posts across the boundary. Deleted posts, edited posts and scheduled posts each have their own treatment in the rules. You read the boundary definition, count against it exactly, and trade the markets whose price reflects a different day than the contract does.

What you need to run it

  • Exact window definition per market, including time zone and inclusive/exclusive endpoints
  • Counting infrastructure that timestamps against the contract's zone, not yours
  • Rules handling for deletions, edits and reposts, which differ market to market

Where this applies

Markets on Polymarket where window-boundary & time-zone rules on counts is the natural play:

  • Will the account post more than 100 times today?
  • Will the figure post between 50 and 74 times this week?
  • Will there be more than 20 posts on Sunday?
