The chandas is set to uṣṇik, which has 3 stanzas or pādās of 8, 8 and 12 when it's set to a metre for singing and external recitation. There are many variations for each metre based on the context as well and it's a study in itself. One can seek the correct metric pronunciation from an adept or guru, who's well versed with singing.

There are no restrictions when it comes to Devi Kāli, as is indicated in the Śiva uvāca itself. Spiritual aspirants can recite the sahasranama at all times. Those following dakṣiṇācāra paddhati or the Southern Tradition, which is very strictly vedic and ritualistic, may follow several restrictions as mandated by their sāmpradāya or sub-tradition.
