By the sounds of that letter republishing a post because you made an edit counts towards your limit. That's nuts! I've edited my signature line or canonical links in multiple posts in a single day. If you have posts in draft that counts toward your limit too? Also nuts, I often work on multiple articles at once and plan weeks in advance. If I have things scheduled into the future how do they count it? The day you scheduled it the day it goes live? And what a way to destroy the workflow of a publisher and writer at the same time? A writer can't control when a publisher will post an article and a publisher won't know what else a writer has planned. I'd be so mad if I had a certain date planned for a certain post and was denied because something I submitted to a publication 2 months ago suddenly went live. I'm not opposed to limits on writers if it's only the original go live date that is counted and those limits seem reasonable, but the entire point of a publication is the vetting for quality and a writers individual limit should not apply to the publication. Set limits on the publications if that's what you need to do.
