Understanding LinkedIn's Rules
LinkedIn sets a weekly limit of ~150 connection requests per week for all paid users, and ~50 per week for free users. This isn't just a suggestion – it's a hard limit enforced by LinkedIn to maintain platform quality and prevent spam. Think of it as a weekly budget you need to manage carefully.
Some automation tools let you send 75 requests per day. While this might seem appealing, sending this many requests means you'll hit LinkedIn's weekly limit in just two days. After that, LinkedIn will block your ability to send more requests for the rest of the week.
Recommended Daily Invite Limits
To balance your outreach efforts with LinkedIn's restrictions, we recommend setting your daily invite limit in Botdog as follows:
Free LinkedIn Accounts:
5 to 10 invites per day
Premium LinkedIn Accounts (Sales Navigator, Premium, Recruiter Lite, or Recruiter):
25 invites per day
Your success on LinkedIn isn't just about the number of requests you send – it's also about maintaining a natural, professional presence on the platform. LinkedIn's algorithm pays attention to several factors:
How established your account is
Your current network size
Your daily activity patterns
How many people accept your requests
How Botdog Manages Your Limits
If you reach LinkedIn's weekly limit, don't worry. Botdog will automatically reschedule your remaining invites until the limit is lifted. This ensures that your campaigns continue to run smoothly without risking your account's standing.
