Warm-up mode for new accounts

Warm-up gradually ramps a new or freshly connected account's daily limits so activity builds up naturally instead of jumping to full capacity on day one.

Start it with manage_outreach_settings using action 'warm_up' and op 'start', plus a mode:

• 'auto': the standard 14-day ramp. Day one starts around 3 invitations, 10 messages, 25 profile views, 10 engagement actions, 30 searches, and 1 post per day, then climbs steadily to the full targets by day 14 (invitations, for example, go from 3 to 15).
• 'aggressive': compresses the ramp into 7 days with higher starting points. Use it only for accounts that already have some activity history.
• 'custom': pass your own per-category configuration (start, target, and ramp days) via the categories parameter.

While warm-up is active, the effective cap for each category is the lower of the warm-up limit and your normal daily limit. Warm-up only ever lowers limits, never raises them.

Check progress with get_account. It shows the warm-up state and today's effective limits per category alongside your usage.

Stop early with op 'stop'. Your normal daily safety limits apply immediately afterwards.

Two things worth knowing:

• Warm-up is opt-in by design. Crispy never auto-enrolls a newly connected account, because the account may already be fully warmed from months of normal use, and forcing a ramp would wrongly throttle it. You judge whether the account is new; you start the ramp.
• The ramp day is derived from the start date, so warm-up progresses on calendar days whether or not the account was active every day.

We recommend running warm-up on every genuinely new account before launching campaigns at full volume.
