Here are the exact limits we use, how an account earns more, and what happens when something looks wrong.

Every tool says “safe”. Here are the rules instead.
Reviews of every LinkedIn automation tool mention restricted accounts. Most answer with an adjective. We’d rather show you the numbers: what each account may send today, how a new account earns more, and what makes it slow down or stop.
How today’s limit is worked out.
Every account gets a fresh limit for each kind of action, every day, in four steps. You can see today’s used, reserved and limit figures on each account.
- 1
Take the lowest limit
The lowest of three: the platform ceiling, the account’s warm-up level, and any cap you set yourself.
- 2
Adjust for health
× 1 at health 70 or above. × 0.6 from 50 to 69. Below 50 the account is paused.
- 3
Vary it slightly
± 10% so the volume isn’t identical every day. Never below 1 if the limit is at least 1.
- 4
Apply the schedule and weekly limit
Days with no working hours get 0. Invites also stop once 150 have gone out that week (weeks start on Monday).
Platform ceilings
Limits nobody can switch off. Not even us.
These are the most any account can do in a day, whatever its warm-up level or settings. Every LinkedIn call the platform makes passes through one of these budgets. There is no back door and no setting that turns one off.
Most accounts never get near them: warm-up levels sit well below the ceiling, and the lowest limit always wins. Replies you send yourself from the inbox don’t count against any of them.
Everyone in your workspace can see these rules, and any caps your team has set, under Settings → Safety in the app.
| Action | Most per day |
|---|---|
| Invitations | 80 (and 150 per week) |
| Profile views | 100 |
| Messages | 100 |
| InMails | 50 |
| Likes | 100 |
| Comments | 100 |
| Endorsements | 50 |
| Search pages (imports) | 50 |
| Withdrawals | 20 |
| Emails (per mailbox) | 150 |
| Post fetches | 100 |
Post fetches cover every time we read someone’s posts, for a like or comment step. It’s a separate allowance, so it never eats into profile views.
Warm-up
New accounts start slow and earn more by staying healthy.
- LinkedIn accounts start at level 0: 4 invites and 5 messages a day. Mailboxes start at level 3.
- Up one level after 14 days in a row at health 85 or more. A Premium account reaches 45 invites a day after about 10 weeks.
- Fewer than 150 connections? The account stays at level 0 for at least 28 days.
- Free LinkedIn accounts never go above level 1. Only Premium accounts and mailboxes can reach level 5. Free accounts also get a small monthly allowance of invites with a note.
The full warm-up ladder: the most each level allows per day
| Level | Invites | Messages | Profile views | Likes | Comments | InMails | Search pages | Endorse | Withdraw | Emails | Post fetches |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0New LinkedIn accounts start here | 4 | 5 | 10 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 20 | 5 |
| 1Free accounts stop here | 9 | 10 | 20 | 10 | 3 | 5 | 10 | 3 | 4 | 40 | 10 |
| 2 | 15 | 20 | 30 | 15 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 5 | 6 | 60 | 15 |
| 3Mailboxes start here | 25 | 35 | 40 | 20 | 8 | 20 | 40 | 8 | 8 | 80 | 20 |
| 4 | 35 | 50 | 50 | 30 | 10 | 30 | 60 | 10 | 10 | 100 | 30 |
| 5Premium accounts and mailboxes top out | 45 | 60 | 60 | 30 | 10 | 40 | 80 | 10 | 10 | 120 | 30 |
These are ceilings for the level. Today’s actual limit is then adjusted for health, varied by up to 10%, and can be lowered further by you.
Health score
It slows down before LinkedIn has to.
Every account has a health score from 0 to 100. It’s the lowest of six scores, so one weak area is enough to pull it down. It’s recalculated every hour, and again soon after a disconnect or a rejected action.
| Health | What happens |
|---|---|
| 85 and above | Excellent. 14 days in a row here earns the next warm-up level. |
| 70–84 | Good. Full daily limits. |
| 50–69 | Every daily limit cut to 60%. |
| Below 50 | Account paused for 24 hours. |
| Score | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Session stability | Disconnects in the last 14 days, and whether the account is connected now |
| Rejection rate | How often LinkedIn rejects the account’s actions |
| Acceptance rate | Share of invites accepted, once 20+ invites have gone out in 14 days |
| Reply rate | Share of messages answered, once 20+ messages have gone out |
| Consistency | How steady daily volume is. A sudden burst after days of quiet scores very low |
| Verification | LinkedIn security checks in the last 30 days |
When something looks wrong, it stops on its own.
Nobody has to be watching. Each pause lifts by itself once the cause has gone, except the one a manager chose.
| When | What happens | It resumes |
|---|---|---|
| Health below 50 | Paused for 24 hours | When health is recalculated at 50 or more |
| Health 50–69 | Every limit × 0.6 | When health is recalculated at 70 or more |
| 3 or more rate-limit or server errors from LinkedIn within 1 hour | Paused for 24 hours | Automatically after 24 hours |
| LinkedIn says “cannot resend yet” on an invite | Invites blocked until next Monday (account’s time) | Automatically |
| Account not connected | All actions held; they stay queued | When the account reconnects |
| Paused by a manager | Nothing planned for the account | When a manager clicks Resume |
| Workspace suspended for billing | All accounts paused, workspace read-only | On their own, as soon as the payment goes through |
| Profile details came back empty twice in a rowEarly access | Profile enrichment backs off for a few hours; sending is unaffected | Automatically |
Every account behaves like one person at work.
The limits decide how much. These rules decide when and from where.
Human timing
Actions run only inside each account’s working hours, in its own time zone (Monday to Friday, 09:00–18:00 by default). Each one gets a random time within those hours, so nothing goes out on a round minute or in a burst.
One proxy per account
Each LinkedIn account connects through its own proxy in the owner’s country, managed for you. It’s set by whoever opens the hosted login link, so send the link to the owner rather than opening it yourself.
Sessions
When LinkedIn ends a session, every action is held, not lost. With the optional browser extension the account reconnects on its own; otherwise a manager sends the owner a re-login link. Leads that failed only because of the disconnect are retried when it reconnects.
Housekeeping
Invitations nobody answers are withdrawn after 21 days by default, so pending invites don’t pile up on the account.
Two more guards.
InMail speed
LinkedIn has restricted accounts that jumped from a few InMails a day to many, even with credits left. So InMail volume can’t grow more than about 50% above last week’s daily average. You’ll see InMails pace up over a few weeks rather than all at once.
Background enrichment
Filling in profiles for people who aren’t in a sequence uses only the profile views left over after the day’s campaign actions: at most 30% of the account’s allowance, and none at all at warm-up levels 0 and 1. Campaigns always come first.
It never follows up with someone who already replied.
A reply on any channel, to any of your accounts, ends every sequence that person is in and cancels anything queued for them. An email reply stops the LinkedIn follow-up; a reply to Priya stops Daniel.
- On by default for every sequence, before the next step can send.
- Out-of-office replies pause the lead instead, and resume after 7 days or on the return date the auto-reply gives.
- Want to look first? Set a sequence to hold replies for review; held leads exit on their own after 30 days by default.
Owners, managers, API keys and the Claude connector all go through the same limits. You can lower an account’s caps; nobody can raise them above the ceiling.
The limits are enforced by the database, not by the screen you happen to be using. An API key can never do more than the person who created it, and the Claude connector acts with exactly your permissions.
What we won’t do.
No switching limits off.
There is no setting, plan or support request that turns a limit off or raises it above the ceiling.
No fake or rented profiles.
Every account is a real person’s own LinkedIn, connected with their consent. We don’t supply accounts.
No “bypass” modes.
We don’t sell ways around LinkedIn’s own limits. When LinkedIn says slow down, the account slows down.
What no tool can promise.
LinkedIn can restrict any account, automated or not. Our job is to keep every sender well inside the lines, show you its health every day, and slow it down before LinkedIn does.

Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to use my own LinkedIn account?
No tool can promise LinkedIn will never restrict an account, and you should distrust any that does. What we do: new accounts start at 4 invites a day and earn more only after 14 healthy days, every limit is scaled down when health drops, and nobody can switch the limits off.
Why is my new account so slow?
It starts at warm-up level 0: 4 invites and 5 messages a day. It moves up one level after 14 days in a row at health 85 or more, and accounts with fewer than 150 connections stay at level 0 for at least 28 days. Slow at first is the point.
Can I send more with LinkedIn Premium?
Yes. Free accounts stop at level 1, which is 9 invites a day. Premium accounts can climb to level 5: 45 invites and 60 messages a day. Nothing goes above the platform ceiling.
What lowers an account’s health?
Health is the lowest of six scores: disconnects, actions LinkedIn rejects, a low acceptance or reply rate, a sudden burst after quiet days, and LinkedIn security checks. At 50–69 every limit is cut to 60%; below 50 the account pauses for 24 hours.
Does profile enrichment use up my profile views?
Early access. Background enrichment only uses the profile views left over after the day’s campaign actions, at most 30% of the allowance, and none at all at warm-up levels 0 and 1. Campaigns always come first.
Can an admin, the API or Claude raise the limits?
No. Owners, managers, API keys and the Claude connector all go through the same limits. You can lower an account’s caps; nobody can raise them above the platform ceiling.
Is this a Chrome extension?
No. Campaigns run in the cloud, inside each account’s working hours. An optional extension in the owner’s browser only keeps the LinkedIn session fresh so they don’t have to log in again.
