# Setting Your Daily LinkedIn Action Limits

**Understanding LinkedIn's Rules**

LinkedIn sets a weekly limit of \~1,000 direct messages to 1st-degree connections, while connection invitations have separate weekly limits of \~150 for paid users and \~50 for free users. These limits are enforced by LinkedIn and can vary by account.

Botdog's daily action settings are configurable targets, not guarantees. LinkedIn may pause or restrict sending when an account reaches a platform limit, and Botdog may introduce natural pauses between actions to protect the account. A campaign can therefore take longer than the configured daily target.

**Recommended Daily Invite Limits**

To balance your outreach efforts with LinkedIn's restrictions, we recommend setting your daily invite limit in Botdog as follows:

1. Free LinkedIn Accounts:

* 5 to 10 invites per day
2. 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.

**Best Practices**

* If you're not very active (fewer than 1,000 connections), start with lower limits and gradually increase them over time
* Regularly review your Botdog campaign performance and adjust limits as needed
