LinkedIn restricts accounts that behave like bots. These settings keep your activity in a safe range.
Where to set your limits
Go to Linkedin + Email Outreach → Accounts.
Open the account you want to configure.
Go to the Account limits tab.
Daily limit sliders
Each action type has its own slider:
Action | Default | Maximum |
Connection requests | 20 | 50 |
Messages | 50 | 80 |
Profile views | 100 | 100 |
Like Post | 50 | 80 |
Post Comments | 20 | 50 |
Endorse skills | 25 | 50 |
The defaults are deliberately conservative. Don't raise them on a new account — build up gradually using warm-up mode instead.
Your actual ceiling depends on your LinkedIn account type. Sales Navigator and Recruiter accounts support higher volumes than a standard free account.
Warm-up mode
Turn on the Warm-up mode toggle to have your limits ramp up automatically over a set schedule instead of starting at full volume.
When enabled, your account starts at a very low daily volume and increases week by week until it reaches its post-warm-up maximum. Your account age is calculated automatically — there's nothing to select.
Turn warm-up on for any new or previously unused account. See LinkedIn Sending Limits & Warmup Schedule for the full week-by-week figures.
Weekly caps
As well as daily limits, there's a weekly cap on connection requests that applies on top:
Account type | Weekly connection cap |
Standard | 100 |
Premium | 150 |
Sales Navigator | 200 |
Recruiter | 250 |
Even if your daily limit would allow more, sending stops once you hit the weekly cap.
The 30% acceptance rate rule
If your connection acceptance rate falls below 30%, your daily connection limit is automatically reduced by 50%.
A low acceptance rate is the clearest signal that you're contacting people who don't recognise or want to hear from you — and it's exactly what LinkedIn looks at when deciding to restrict an account. Rather than let you keep going, the system slows you down.
If this happens, fix the cause: tighten your targeting, improve your connection note, and make sure your own profile is complete and credible.
Automatic protection
If your LinkedIn account is detected as restricted, campaigns using that account are paused automatically to prevent further damage.
If this happens:
Log into LinkedIn directly and resolve whatever it's asking for.
Leave the account idle for several days.
Restart with warm-up mode on and lower limits than before.
Staying safe
Warm up every new account. This is the single most effective protection.
Keep your acceptance rate above 30%. Better targeting beats higher volume every time.
Personalize connection notes. Generic invites get ignored, and ignored invites drag your acceptance rate down.
Use the warm-up actions. Profile visits and post engagement make your activity look human.
Use your account manually too. An account that only ever performs automated actions stands out.
Don't change your proxy country once you've set it.
