Starting from autumn 2025, LinkedIn appears to have introduced an additional daily connection request limit alongside the existing weekly limit. This update seems to affect only a small segment of users.
Although LinkedIn has not released an official announcement, our team is actively investigating the issue based on incoming reports. We are collecting more data to better understand and address this new logic.
How to identify an affected sender
If one or more of your senders are delivering fewer connection requests or messages than before, check whether their sender profile displays a Connection limit reached banner.
When this banner is present, it means GetSales received a limit alert from LinkedIn while attempting to send a connection request. In such cases:
The system pauses connection requests for that sender for 5 hours.
After the pause, tasks resume according to the sender’s schedule.
In many cases, LinkedIn lifts the restriction within a day, allowing the sender to continue outreach normally.
Our observations so far suggest that these limits may be tied to the sender’s account health and the outreach strategies used.
Recommended actions
To mitigate the impact of the new LinkedIn logic and improve overall outreach quality, we recommend reviewing the following:
Verify company and position relevance of the target audience for each sender. Low relevance between the sender and the lead may negatively affect account health.
Increase organic LinkedIn activity, including posting (1–2 times per week) and commenting (several times per week). This may help improve perceived account health.
Avoid outreach activity on weekends, if any is currently scheduled.
For profiles affected by limits, reduce the daily number of connection requests.
Monitor connection and reply metrics. If either is below 20%, consider improving targeting and personalization.
Check for recent account blocks
(CRM → Contacts → Activity → filter by “LinkedIn account blocked” + the relevant sender).
Any blocks indicate serious account health issues and warrant a review of your outreach strategy.
After adjusting your strategy, monitor the results for a couple of weeks. You may also add backup sender profiles to maintain outreach volume during this period.
