-Send the formatted message via `mcp__traffic-mcp__Call_slack-feed-traffic-delay-list_`.
+### Posting Rules & Slack Character Limit
+
+Slack has a ~4000 character limit per message. If the full table exceeds 25 rows, you **must** split it into multiple messages to prevent the code block formatting from breaking.
+
+**Splitting logic:**
+1. Calculate the number of parts needed: `ceil(total_rows / 25)`
+2. Each message must be a **self-contained code block** (with its own opening and closing triple backticks)
+3. **First message** starts with the bold header: `*Snoozed orders (part 1/{total_parts}):*`
+4. **Middle messages** use: `*Snoozed orders (part X/{total_parts}):*`
+5. **Last message** includes the italic summary footer after the code block
+6. If all orders fit in a single message (≤25 rows), use the standard header: `*Here are all {count} snoozed orders:*`
+
+**Example with 56 orders (3 parts):**
+
+Message 1:
+```
+*Snoozed orders (part 1/3):*
+``` ```
