To submit a support ticket in Substack, you first need to visit the Substack website and log into your account. Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Help" or "Support" section of the website. This is typically located in the footer of the website or under your account settings.

Once you're in the Support or Help section, look for an option that says "Submit a Ticket" or "Contact Support". Click on this option and you'll be directed to a form where you can detail your issue or query. Fill out the form with as much detail as possible, then click "Submit" or "Send".

The specific response time for Substack support tickets is not publicly stated on their website or in their support documentation. It may vary depending on the nature of the issue, the volume of tickets they are currently handling, and other factors.

However, it's common for companies to aim to respond to support tickets within 24-48 hours. If you have submitted a ticket and have not received a response within this timeframe, it may be helpful to follow up. Remember to provide as much detail as possible in your ticket to help the support team address your issue efficiently.
