The plan's caps
| Limit | The plan |
|---|---|
| Connection requests a day | 20 |
| Connection requests in any 7 days | 100 |
| Messages a day | 30 |
| Likes a day | 50 |
| Lead finds a month | 300 |
These are ceilings. A run stops when it reaches the cap, even if leads are left. On Auto Connect you can set a lower Daily limit for a run. You can go lower than your plan, never higher.
Outreach sequences count against the same caps.
Lead finds
Each person a lead search returns counts as one lead find. A search that fails uses none. Leads you upload from a CSV or add by hand don't count.
Pacing
After each connection request, Auto Connect waits a random gap before the next one. You choose the range under Sending pace:
| Pace | Gap between requests |
|---|---|
| Slow | 90 to 180 seconds |
| Normal | 30 to 60 seconds |
| Fast | 5 to 15 seconds |
Normal is the default. Slow is the most careful. Fast suits small runs.
The other tools wait their own random gaps between actions.
When counters reset
Daily counters reset at midnight India time (IST, UTC+5:30). That's 18:30 UTC the day before, so in Europe and the Americas the reset falls in your afternoon or evening.
Monthly lead finds reset at midnight India time on the 1st of each month.
The 7-day cap on connection requests counts the requests sent over the last 7 days, so there is no single reset time. As older days drop out, room for up to 100 comes back.
When a run stops on its own
A run can stop before it reaches the cap. It stops when:
- LinkedIn refuses a connection request.
- LinkedIn shows a security check, or the session stops working.
- A lead's profile won't load.
The run log says why. Don't restart straight away. Give the account an hour or two at least, and if LinkedIn refused a request, wait until the next day. You can also stop any run yourself with its cancel button.
LinkedIn's own limits
LinkedIn also limits how many invitations an account can send. LinkedIn limits most accounts to about 100 invitations a week, and hitting LinkedIn's limit blocks invitations for about a week. That's why the plan stops at 100 in any 7 days. Some accounts get a different limit from LinkedIn, so our cap can't promise to keep you under theirs.
For a new account, or one that hasn't sent many invitations lately, use Slow pacing, keep lead lists short, and set a lower daily limit for the first few weeks. Raise it slowly.
Automating LinkedIn is against LinkedIn's terms. Careful pacing lowers the risk to your account; it doesn't remove it. More on the safety page.
