Step 1 · Understand it

Where it sits in the process

Before it, this page, after it. Check you are on the right step before reading on; a link opens the guide when one exists.

Before Outreach planning A target audience and a message are chosen before any action is automated.
This page Activity limits Ceilings the platform applies to how much an account can do.
After Activity pacing Actions are spread out over time instead of sent in bursts.
After Restriction handling A warned or limited account stops automation and looks for the cause.
Not to be confused with ✕ API rate limits: cap requests between programs, not a person's profile actions ✕ Account security: covers logins and passwords, not how much an account does
Step 1 · Understand it

How it works

4 things to remember. Each card states one; the line under it is the detail.

Different kinds of action can each have their own ceiling over time.

Requests, profile views and searches may each be counted on their own, so staying under one ceiling says nothing about another.

How actions are spread over time can matter, not only their total.

A sudden burst of actions looks different from the way a person usually works, even when the total stays the same.

Account age and history can both change how much an account may do.

A new profile with little history may be treated differently from an established profile with a long record of ordinary use.

A restriction can start as a warning and grow into limited access.

Treat a warning as information: an account that carries on unchanged after a warning may end up with less access.

Step 2 · Check it applies

Does it apply to you?

Tick what is true for you. Each line is a case where a tool changes nothing.

A figure set for an older account says little about one that has almost no history yet.

No single user sees everyone's activity on the profile, so a ceiling is hard to watch.

A warning or a restriction is the signal that counts, and a table of figures cannot show it.

Tick the lines that describe you.

At least one of these is true for you: fix that first. No tool changes it.

None of these is you. The term applies to your situation.

This page gives no figure; what applies can differ from one account to another, so start gently and watch for warnings.

An account can receive a warning, then have some actions paused or its access limited; how far it goes depends on the account and its history.

This page does not describe LinkedIn's internal methods; unusually fast or regular activity can stand out. Read LinkedIn's User Agreement before automating; this page does not summarize it.

This page does not say, because it holds no source for how a plan changes a ceiling; check what the plan itself states before assuming more room.

Build ordinary activity by hand before adding automation, then increase it gradually and watch for warnings; no schedule is given here.

This page gives no duration. Pause automation, then follow any notice shown on the account and fix the cause before starting again.
