Why aren't connection requests sending? (LinkedIn Connection Limits)

If LinkedIn connection requests aren't sending, it's it's almost always for one of two reasons:

Why aren't connection requests sending?

1. Your LinkedIn is disconnected (reconnect it here)

2. You've hit your weekly connection limit.

LinkedIn’s Weekly Connection Limits

• Paid / Active LinkedIn Accounts

  • 80–100 invitations per day

  • ~200 invitations per week

  • Includes a message up to 300 characters

• Free LinkedIn Accounts

  • ~5 invitations per month with a note (200 characters max)

  • ~150 invitations per week without a note

Important: These limits are enforced by LinkedIn — not LeadLoft.

How to confirm it’s a LinkedIn issue?

Follow this quick check:

1. Open LinkedIn in your browser

2. Try sending a connection request manually

3. Test both:

   • With a message

   • Without a message

Result:

• If it fails → it’s a LinkedIn restriction

• If it works → review your LeadLoft playbook setup
