How many songs can I skip on Pandora?

When I do a "thumbs down" or "I'm tired of this song" in Pandora, it will usually skip to the next song immediately.

If I do this too many times, Pandora says:

"Unfortunately, our music licenses force us to limit the number of songs you may skip"

  • How many times can I skip a song?

  • When does the count reset?

  • Is there anywhere I can look to see how many skips I have left?

  • From the Pandora FAQ

    There are two types of skip limits:

    All Pandora listeners are limited to 6 skips per hour, per station.

    Listeners to the free Pandora service are limited to 12 total skips per day, across all stations.

    NOTE: The hourly limit is based on a rolling sixty-minute interval for each skip. So if you give four skips at 12noon, then you give another two skips at 12:30pm, you'll have another four skips available at 1pm-- one hour from the four you gave-- then if you still haven't given any other skips in the meantime, you'll have all six skips back at 1:30pm.

    NOTE: The daily limit resets all at once overnight, and is not based on a 24-hour interval.24-hour interval.

    I don't think you can look up how many skips you've used or have left.

  • Also, if you subscribe to Pandora One ($36/year), your skips are basically unlimited, because you get six per hour per station, but you can have (as far as I know) an unlimited number of stations.

    So if you get to your six-per-hour limit, you can switch over to another station and you get another six skips there.
