What it means

What happened

A public feed paste needs to stay readable, so it cannot have a read limit.

Why

Why it might have happened

  • Read limits make a paste disappear after a set number of opens.
  • Public feed entries are meant to remain available until they expire or are revoked.
Next steps

What you can try

  1. Remove the read limit for a public feed paste.
  2. Or choose Unlisted if you want the paste to burn after a small number of reads.
  3. Publish again.
