How do Boost, Normal, Prudent and Secured intervals work in Novalya?

Reading time: 4 min

Quick summary: Intervals define wait time between each sent action (message, friend request, interaction). Longer the interval, more prudent the pace.

Why does Novalya use variable intervals?

Instant and repetitive sending can be perceived as automated behavior by Meta's detection systems.

3 objectives of intervals

Novalya applies variable intervals to:

Simulate natural human behavior

Human never types exactly every 60 seconds
Pauses naturally vary between reflection, reading, distractions

Avoid too close actions

Sufficient spacing to not trigger Meta alerts
Tempo that seems organic not mechanical

Adapt pace according to account maturity

Recent account = long recommended intervals
Established account = shorter possible intervals

Each interval works on random time range, never fixed delay.

4 available interval levels

Novalya offers four modes adapted to different account profiles.

Boost Mode

Interval: About 30 to 90 seconds between each action

Adapted for:

Experienced accounts with good engagement history
Accounts over 6 months very active
Occasional operations requiring speed

Important built-in security limit: Boost mode is automatically limited to 20 sends maximum per campaign. If you configure campaign of 21 sends or more, Boost mode is automatically disabled and replaced by Normal mode to protect your account.

Normal Mode

Interval: About 90 seconds to 3 minutes

Adapted for:

Standard active accounts
Accounts over 3 months with regular activity
Classic daily usage

Recommended for majority of users. It's optimal default mode for good balance between speed and security.

Prudent Mode

Interval: About 3 to 5 minutes

Adapted for:

Recent accounts (less than 3 months)
Accounts after inactivity period
Gradual warm-up phase

Recommended if you recently had temporary restriction or if you restart after several weeks without activity.

Secured Mode

Interval: About 5 to 10 minutes

Adapted for:

Gradual start of brand new account
After temporary restriction
In case of doubt about account health

Most prudent mode. Use it during first week of Novalya use on new account.

How does automatic variation work?

Intervals are never fixed. Novalya introduces randomness to simulate natural human behavior.

Concrete example in Normal mode (90 seconds to 3 minutes)

10:00:00 → Message 1 sent
10:01:42 → Message 2 sent (102 seconds later)
10:04:09 → Message 3 sent (147 seconds later)
10:05:40 → Message 4 sent (91 seconds later)
10:08:22 → Message 5 sent (162 seconds later)

No delay is identical. This variation prevents Meta from detecting mechanical pattern.

Why it's crucial

If Novalya sent exactly every 2 minutes:

❌ Predictable pattern = easy detection
❌ Clearly automated behavior
❌ Increased restriction risk

With random variation:

✅ Impossible to differentiate from human
✅ No detectable pattern
✅ Maximum protection

How to choose right interval level?

Use this guide according to your situation:

Account profile	Recommended mode	Usage duration
Brand new account (< 1 month)	🔴 Secured	Week 1-2
Recent account (1-3 months)	🟡 Prudent	Week 3-4, then switch Normal
Established account (> 6 months, active)	🟢 Normal	Standard daily usage
Very engaged account (> 1 year, excellent history)	🔵 Boost	Occasionally, max 20 messages
After temporary restriction	🔴 Secured	1 week, then Prudent

Important recommendation

Observe first sends before increasing pace. Always start with more prudent mode than necessary, then gradually speed up if no problems appear.

Total campaign duration by mode

To help you plan, here are approximate durations:

Number of messages	Boost Mode	Normal Mode	Prudent Mode	Secured Mode
10 messages	~10 min	~20 min	~40 min	~75 min
20 messages	~20 min	~40 min	~80 min	~150 min
50 messages	❌ Not available	~100 min	~200 min	~400 min

Practical tip: Launch your campaigns in morning so they finish during day, especially in Prudent and Secured modes.

FAQ

Can I change mode during campaign?

No. Mode is set at campaign launch and stays fixed until end. If you want to change mode, you must stop current campaign and launch new one with new mode.

Why can't I use Boost for 50 messages?

Boost mode is limited to 20 messages maximum to protect your account. Short intervals (30-90 seconds) on high volume (50+ messages) significantly increase restriction risk. This limitation is built-in security.

Do intervals also apply to friend requests?

Yes. Intervals apply to all actions automated by Novalya: messages, friend requests, interactions. Each action is spaced according to chosen mode.

Can I manually customize intervals?

No. Intervals are fixed per mode and have been optimized after analyzing millions of sent messages. They represent best compromise between speed and security. Modifying them could endanger your account.

Which mode to use if my account is 6 months but low activity?

Even if your account is 6 months old, if it has very low activity (few posts, likes, comments), start with Prudent mode for 1-2 weeks. Seniority alone isn't enough; engagement also counts.
