+# HVAC Know It All - Updated Production Backlog Capture
+
+## 🚀 Updated Configuration
+**Started**: August 18, 2025 @ 10:54 PM ADT
+
+### 📈 New Rate Limits & Targets
+
+| Source | Previous Target | New Target | Rate Limit | Estimated Time |
+|--------|-----------------|------------|------------|----------------|
+| **Instagram** | 200 posts | **1000 posts** | 200/hour | ~5 hours |
+| **TikTok** | 300 videos | **1000 videos** | Browser-based | ~2-3 hours |
+
+### ⚡ Instagram Optimization Changes
+- **Rate limit**: Increased from 100 to **200 posts/hour**
+- **Delays**: Reduced from 15-30s to **10-20 seconds**
+- **Extended breaks**: Every **10 requests** (was 5)
+- **Break duration**: **30-60 seconds** (was 60-120s)
+- **Speed improvement**: ~**40-50% faster**
+
+### 🎯 TikTok Enhancements
+- **Total videos**: 1000 (if available)
+- **Videos with captions**: 100 (increased from 50)
+- **Caption fetching**: Individual page visits for detailed content
+
+## 📊 Already Completed Sources
+
+| Source | Items Captured | File Size | Status |
+|--------|---------------|-----------|---------|
+| **WordPress** | 139 posts | 1.5 MB | ✅ Complete |
+| **Podcast** | 428 episodes | 727 KB | ✅ Complete |
+| **YouTube** | 200 videos | 107 KB | ✅ Complete |
+
+## 🔄 Currently Processing
+- **Instagram**: Fetching 1000 posts with optimized rate limiting
+- **Next**: TikTok with 1000 videos target
+
+## 📁 Output Location
+```
+/home/ben/dev/hvac-kia-content/data_production_backlog/markdown_current/
+├── hvacknowitall_wordpress_backlog_[timestamp].md
+├── hvacknowitall_podcast_backlog_[timestamp].md
+├── hvacknowitall_youtube_backlog_[timestamp].md
+├── hvacknowitall_instagram_backlog_[timestamp].md (pending)
+└── hvacknowitall_tiktok_backlog_[timestamp].md (pending)
+```
+
+## 📈 Progress Monitoring
+To monitor real-time progress:
+```bash
+# Watch Instagram progress
+tail -f instagram_1000.log
+
+# Check overall status
+./monitor_backlog_progress.sh --live
+```
+
+## ⏱️ Time Estimates
+- **Instagram**: ~5 hours for 1000 posts at 200/hour
+- **TikTok**: ~2-3 hours for 1000 videos (depends on caption fetching)
+- **Total remaining**: ~7-8 hours
+
+## 🎯 Final Deliverables
+- **~2,767 total items** (767 already + 2000 new)
+- **Specification-compliant markdown** for all sources
+- **Media files** downloaded and organized
+- **NAS synchronization** upon completion
+
+## 📝 Notes
+The increased targets will provide a much more comprehensive historical dataset:
+- Instagram: 5x more content than originally planned
+- TikTok: 3.3x more content than originally planned
+- This will capture a significant portion of the brand's social media history
