What it checks

Threads’s two-step publish flow creates a media container, polls until it transitions to FINISHED, then publishes. Containers expire 24 hours after creation. If our polling sees status EXPIRED, this rule fires. In practice this only fires on long-deferred publishes (the worker fell behind for >24h). Live POST /v1/posts calls publish within seconds.

Failure response

{
  "error": {
    "code": "preflight_failed",
    "rule": "threads.container.expired",
    "platform": "threads",
    "message": "Threads media container expired before publish (24 h ttl).",
    "remediation": "Retry the publish — a new container is created on each attempt."
  }
}

Remediation

Retry the publish with the same Idempotency-Key. The dispatcher creates a fresh container each attempt; an expired one from a previous run isn’t carried forward.
