What happens when a post fails to publish
It retries automatically, up to five times, before it is ever marked failed for good. Even then, it sorts above everything else in its day so you see it.
1. It retries, up to 5 times
A platform rejecting a publish attempt isn't the end of it. The post is swept back to try again, up to five attempts total, before it's counted as failed for good.
2. Past that, it sorts above everything else that day
Once retries are exhausted, the post is marked failed and sorts above every other post in its day on the calendar, regardless of what time it was scheduled for.

Nothing stops while the payment is retried. If it still fails, the workspace moves to the Free plan instead of closing, and the Billing page says why.
- Could a post publish twice?
No. A post can only move from claimed to publishing once. A duplicate queue delivery for a target already past that point is a no-op, not a second attempt.
