LinkedIn default limits
LinkedIn can restrict an account that does more than normal activity. TexAu sets a default limit for each automation and each connected account. Keep the defaults, and set new accounts lower.
Default daily limits#
These are the TexAu defaults per connected account. Each automation guide has the full limits.

How the limits work#
- Limits apply per automation and per connected account.
- The windows roll: the last 60 minutes, the last 24 hours and the last 7 days.
- If an automation has only a daily limit, TexAu sets the hourly limit to one third of it. The weekly limit is seven times the daily limit.
- Each attempted input counts, also a failed one.
- A limit of 0 blocks the automation.
- When a run reaches a limit, it pauses. You can resume it after the reset time, or send it to the background.
To change a limit, read Manage rate limits.
Lower the risk to your accounts#
- Keep the TexAu default limits.
- For a new account or an account with little activity, set the limits lower than the defaults.
- Do not raise a limit above the default without a reason. Higher limits increase the risk of a restriction.
- For CSV runs, keep pacing on. Pacing spaces out the rows.
- Do not use the same account heavily in your browser during a run.
LinkedIn also applies its own weekly invitation limit to each account. This limit applies in addition to the TexAu limits.
Proxies#
- You do not need a proxy for one account on your own computer.
- For many accounts, use one proxy for each account.
- On a cloud computer, add the proxy before you sign in to LinkedIn there.
