Daily limits and account safety

LinkedIn rewards accounts that behave like real people and pushes back against accounts that don’t. Funkel paces sends to stay well inside LinkedIn’s tolerance window, but it’s worth understanding the limits so you can set them with intent.

Defaults

Each connected LinkedIn sender starts at:

• Invitations: 80 per week (~16 per business day)
• Messages: 80 per week (~16 per business day)

These sit comfortably under LinkedIn’s soft caps of 100 invites and 150 messages per week. New or recently warmed-up accounts should stay near the defaults; older, well-aged accounts can usually run closer to the cap.

How pacing works

Funkel turns a weekly limit into a daily budget over your campaign’s active days (typically Monday–Friday). When more leads are ready than today’s budget allows, the extras roll into tomorrow. Funkel never crams a day to clear a queue.

Per-campaign overrides

Inside a campaign’s Settings you can lower the invite or message budget below the sender default. Useful when one sender runs several campaigns and you want a small one to take only a slice of the daily budget.

What pauses outreach automatically

• The lead replies, all remaining steps in their workflow are canceled.
• The weekly cap is hit, sends resume the next week.
• A failed payment passes day 3 of grace, agents pause until billing is fixed.

What you should still do manually

• Don’t connect a brand-new LinkedIn account and run it at full pace. Aim for ~30% of the cap for the first two weeks.
• If LinkedIn shows a warning or temporary restriction, pause your campaigns immediately and let the account rest for at least 7 days.
• Use Funkel as one channel, not your only one. Real engagement on LinkedIn (posts, comments, profile views) keeps your account looking healthy.
