LinkedIn limits, ramp and restrictions
The daily and weekly caps on each LinkedIn sender, the warm-up ramp, and what happens after LinkedIn restricts an account.
Last updated
Victoria AI caps every LinkedIn sender so it stays inside the range LinkedIn tolerates on most accounts. The caps apply per account, across every campaign the account sends for, and a campaign's own daily limits apply on top.
LinkedIn daily and weekly caps per account
| Action | Cap |
|---|---|
| Connection requests and LinkedIn messages, per day | 20 |
| Connection requests, per week | 100 |
| LinkedIn messages, per week | 200 |
| Profile views, per week | 200 |
Days are counted in US Eastern time, the same day boundary the campaign daily limits reset on. Connection notes are limited by LinkedIn to 300 characters.
LinkedIn warm-up ramp for a new account
A newly connected LinkedIn account doesn't start at the full cap. Over its first 14 days, connection requests and messages are capped at:
| Ramp day, as the app shows it | Per day |
|---|---|
| Days 1 to 3 | 5 |
| Days 4 to 7 | 10 |
| Days 8 to 14 | 15 |
| After day 14 | The daily cap above |
Day 1 is the day the account connected.
Profile views aren't ramped. Reconnecting an account doesn't restart its ramp. While it ramps, the row on Sender Accounts shows the day and today's cap, for example Day 4 of 14 · 10/day.
What a LinkedIn restriction is and what Victoria does after one
A restriction is LinkedIn limiting what an account can do, often after too many invitations or a security flag. When Victoria AI sees one (or the account's sign-in failing, or the account being deactivated), it:
- Halves the account's daily caps for connection requests and messages, rounded up, for 7 days. The sending limits read "halved after a restriction".
- Marks the account Risk: high with the reason and when it happened.
After 7 days without another incident, the caps return to normal. If the restriction disconnected the account, reconnect it. See Reconnect a sender.
LinkedIn risk levels on Sender Accounts
Select the chip on a LinkedIn row to see its risk:
- Risk: ok: no incidents in the last 7 days.
- Risk: elevated: the account is still ramping, or LinkedIn rate-limited it in the last 7 days.
- Risk: high: a restriction in the last 7 days. Caps are halved.
Skip the LinkedIn ramp or raise the limits
Owners and admins see two buttons in the chip's Sending limits section:
- Skip ramp moves the account straight to its full cap. Accounts that send at full volume immediately are far more likely to be rate-limited or restricted.
- Allow 30/day, 200/week raises the account to 30 connection requests and messages a day and 200 connection requests a week. This raises the chance of a temporary restriction, especially on accounts under a year old or without Sales Navigator.
Both are recorded with your name and can't be undone in the app. Campaign daily limits still apply on top. See Work hours and daily limits.
