While trying to send an invitation on LinkedIn, you receive this error message. You have reached your weekly LinkedIn invitation limit. 😅
Summary
If you are looking for a solution, check out our tool : LinkedLite, which is not affected by LinkedIn's restrictions. Otherwise, in this article, we explain all the different LinkedIn restrictions and our tips on how to get out of them. 👊
First: Don't panic! It's okay, and your account isn't at risk. This is a suspension that is only temporary. 😜
Why have I reached the weekly invitation limit on LinkedIn?
LinkedIn is first and foremost a network of people. However, in recent months, the popularity of automation tools and the health crisis have significantly increased the volumes of invitations sent on LinkedIn and the use of the network as an acquisition channel.
No one likes to receive 10 marketing and sales invitations (often poorly written and poorly qualified) per day on LinkedIn.
LinkedIn has therefore decided to strike a blow by reducing the number of possible invitations to about 100 per week, compared to more than 500 previously.
With two objectives: reduce sales solicitations and put an end to automation tools.
But if they thought that would stop us, LinkedIn doesn't know us at all ? (actually its true our tool is still undetectable ?). But what we're saying is, LinkedIn is still a real gold mine.
And just because the gold mine is protected by a fence doesn't mean no one will get in. ?
After having closely studied the evolution of this update and its propagation within our user base, we are now able to say that this update:
- Applies to all users
- Does not depend on the number of pending requests sent
- Does not depend on your performance (acceptance rate, responses to messages)
- Applies to both standard and premium users as well as Sales Navigator. No LinkedIn subscription will allow you to send more invitations
- Reduces the number of connection requests that users can send to around 100 per week.
How to lift the weekly invitation limit?
Once you get this message, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do immediately. You have to wait until the following week to send new invitations
The problem for a social network when it wants to stop somewhat abusive practices is to prevent bots from working while maintaining a normal user experience for a "normal" user.
So, if you really meet a lot of people in everyday life, this limit of a hundred invitations per week can quickly become restrictive, even for someone who is building a quality network.
So LinkedIn offers a solution: contact the person by entering their email. This method won't be subject to the "normal" weekly invitation limits. 😉
How does LinkedLite handle when you've reached your weekly invite limit?
LinkedLite has been designed to perfectly reproduce human behavior. We have different mechanisms in place to remain undetectable.
On the other hand, the recent LinkedIn update adding weekly quotas may appear whether you are using LinkedLite, or sending invitations manually.
LinkedLite automatically retrieving the prospect's email before contacting him. When the connection request is sent using the email, quotas are not applied, the invite is still sent via LinkedIn and not via email, but it's now possible to go beyond the 100 per week limit. This tool allows you to contact between 500 and 700 people per week, exactly as before.
LinkedLite has a 7-day trial with no credit card required that will allow you to see for yourself.
You can also contact other members of a group directly by message. A way to go beyond the 500 invitations per week while staying under LinkedIn's radar.
