SkieWhat is the Due limit in Skie and how do I set it?
The Due limit is how long a device may go without syncing before Skie treats it as due. It is an editable threshold. Once a device passes it, the dashboard shows it as Due and the unlock gate tries to sync it the next time someone opens the screen.
Every managed device has a last-synced time. The Due limit is the age that time is allowed to reach before Skie wants action. Skie does not ship a number in this article because the right value depends on your devices. A school with tablets on charge trolleys every night can tolerate a different gap from a field team out of coverage for days.
Passing the Due limit does two things. On the dashboard the device moves into a Due state that staff can filter on. On the device itself, the next time the screen unlocks, the gate overlay syncs first and only blocks use if the sync does not finish. That second effect is why the limit matters for students: a stale device cannot simply keep running on old rules.
You set the limit among the other thresholds. Due is the earliest warning. Overdue is later and more serious. Offline unusual flags a pattern beyond what is normal for that device, and Breach is where a missing check-in is raised in the breach centre. All four are editable, and they work together as a ladder.
Choose by thinking about your slowest legitimate pattern. If tablets are legitimately away for a weekend, a limit shorter than a weekend will mark every device as Due every Monday and train staff to ignore it.
Practical tip: change one threshold at a time, then watch the Insights online and silent share for a week before adjusting again.
