4 of the 33 videos (12.1%) passed twice the average plays and 2 passed five times it. Plays are uneven from one video to the next (consistency grade D). None of the 33 videos is under 15 seconds and 20 run a minute or longer.
Video Duration Breakdown
How the account's recent videos split across length bands. It shows the format the creator leans on, from very short clips to long-form.
1m 9s
Average Duration
The account favors videos between 60 and 180 seconds. This category contains the highest number of total videos.
Original Sound Usage
Share of videos set to an “original sound”: audio a TikTok user uploaded rather than a licensed track. It can be this creator's own or another user's upload; Top Sounds below names who made each one.
Posting Patterns & Optimal Timing
Based on 33 videos
The videos we analysed all went up between Feb 14, 2026 and Feb 20, 2026, less than a week, so they can't show which days the account usually posts; most went up around 8:00 UTC.
Posting Frequency
How often the account posts, against the typical tracked creator. It tells you whether to expect a steady stream or occasional drops.
| Videos per Week | 46.2 |
| Avg Gap Between Posts | 4.3h |
| Data Range | Feb 14, 2026 to Feb 20, 2026 |
Most Active Days
Which days of the week new videos most often appear. These are upload times, when fresh content lands, not necessarily when the audience is watching. These uploads all went up between Feb 14, 2026 and Feb 20, 2026, less than a week, so the chart shows only the days in that window, not a weekly habit.
Posting Hours (UTC)
A heatmap of the hours (UTC) when this account publishes. Darker or taller blocks are the busier posting windows. Read it as the creator's release schedule, not their audience's active hours.
How to read these charts
The account posts 46.2 times per week with the busiest hour at 8:00 UTC.
