What the limit is
LinkedIn limits most accounts to about 100 invitations a week, and hitting LinkedIn's limit blocks invitations for about a week.
That sentence comes from LinkedIn's own help pages, and it is as exact as anyone outside LinkedIn can be. LinkedIn does not publish a number for your account. Most accounts land near the same figure, some get a lower one, and an account that has been quiet for a long time, or is new, tends to be treated more carefully.
The count is invitations sent, not invitations accepted. An invitation that sits unanswered still used one of the week's allowance when you sent it.
What happens when you hit it
LinkedIn tells you that you have reached the weekly invitation limit, and new invitations are blocked for about a week.
If a tool keeps trying to send while that block is on, every attempt fails, and a pile of failed attempts in a short time is exactly the pattern that invites a closer look. That is why a run here stops the moment LinkedIn refuses an invite, rather than trying the next lead.
How the 7-day cap works here
The plan sends at most 20 connection requests a day and at most 100 in any 7 days. The 7-day figure is rolling: it counts the requests sent over the last 7 days, whatever day of the week it is. As older days drop out of the window, room comes back.
Auto Connect and Outreach sequences share the same counters, so a sequence cannot push you past the cap while Auto Connect is also running. When a run reaches the cap it stops, even if leads are left; a sequence step that would go over waits and tries again later.
| Limit | The plan |
|---|---|
| Connection requests a day | 20 |
| Connection requests in any 7 days | 100 |
Our cap cannot promise to keep you under LinkedIn's limit, because LinkedIn's limit is not the same for every account, and because requests you send by hand count on LinkedIn's side but not on ours. If you also send invitations yourself, set a lower daily limit on your runs.
What to do if you hit LinkedIn's limit
- Stop every tool that sends invitations, ours included. Cancel any running Auto Connect run and don't enrol new leads in a sequence for the week.
- Don't try to send by hand either. The block applies to the account, not the tool.
- Use the week for the other half of outreach: run Message Sender for people who accepted, run Auto Liker so you stay visible, and run Profile Scraper to fill in details on leads you uploaded.
- Clean the lead list. Delete people who were never a good fit, so the next week's requests go to better people.
- When the block lifts, come back at Slow pace with a daily limit below the plan's cap, and raise it over a couple of weeks.
Planning a week around it
A simple shape that fits: one search of a hundred people a week, trimmed before Monday; one Auto Connect run a day at the daily cap, five days running; Message Sender on Friday for the people who accepted earlier in the week. That uses the whole 7-day allowance on one list, so if you also send invitations by hand, make the list smaller.
The daily Telegram report shows each day's count next to the cap, which is enough to see where the week stands without opening the app.
Old pending invitations
Many people withdraw old invitations that were never accepted, from the Sent tab under My Network in LinkedIn. It keeps the account tidy and it is a reasonable habit. We don't do it for you: Auto Connect sends; it never withdraws.
The honest part
Automating LinkedIn is against LinkedIn's terms. A sensible cap, a random gap between requests and a run that stops at the first refusal keep you a long way from the obvious mistakes, but no tool can promise you will never see a limit or a check. The safety page says what we do and what we don't claim.
