What is LinkedIn's weekly invitation limit?
The widely cited weekly cap, and why it resets on a rolling basis instead of every Monday.
The widely cited weekly cap is roughly 100 to 200 connection requests, with most sources converging around 100 as a safer baseline and higher figures reported mainly for long-established accounts or Sales Navigator users with strong acceptance rates. There's no official published number, but hitting a wall somewhere in that range is a consistent pattern across outreach tools and agencies.
| Account profile | Widely cited weekly range |
|---|---|
| New or lightly active account | 50-100 |
| Established, active account | 100-150 |
| Long-established account, strong acceptance rate | 150-200 |
It's a rolling window, not a calendar week
This is the part that trips people up most. The weekly cap does not reset every Monday or on any fixed day. It works on a rolling 7-day basis tied to each individual invitation: a connection request you sent on a Tuesday afternoon frees up its slot the following Tuesday afternoon, exactly seven days later. So your available capacity on any given day depends on how many invitations you sent in the trailing week, not on where you are in a calendar cycle. Someone who sends a burst of requests on a Monday and stays quiet the rest of the week is playing the limit very differently than someone spreading the same volume evenly across seven days, even if the weekly total looks the same on paper.
Why an even pace beats a burst
Spreading requests evenly across the week, rather than sending most of your volume in one or two sessions, more closely matches normal human behavior and tends to be the safer pattern reported across the industry. A daily cadence that lands inside your safe daily number (see the daily limits page) will naturally keep you inside the weekly rolling cap too. This is one of the reasons CloserClaus paces sending automatically rather than letting a campaign fire everything at once: the daily ramp from 10 to 15 requests a day for new accounts, held to a consistent schedule, keeps weekly totals in a predictable, defensible range without you having to track the rolling math yourself.
