From here, HeyOrca will generate your suggested posting times automatically based on the metric you've selected:

HeyOrca calculates them based on your top-performing posts published in the past three months. *For X (Twitter) profiles, these suggestions will be based on the most recent 100 posts.

These times will have star ratings that rank your best publishing times from 1-5 stars. 1 being the lowest-performing posting time, and 5 stars is the highest-performing posting time!

As shown in the example below, the highest star rankings you see are your posts that were created and performed highly at the publishing time.
