Rate Limits

We-Link enforces two layers of rate limits to protect your LinkedIn accounts: API-level limits (enforced by We-Link) and platform-level limits (enforced by LinkedIn).

We-Link API Limits

Each API call consumes 1 credit from your account balance. If credits are exhausted, API calls pause until replenished. See Creating a Subscription for pricing details, and Auto Top-Up to avoid interruptions.

Limit	Threshold	Window	Error
Global Action Rate Limit	100 requests/hour	60-min rolling	429 Too Many Requests
Message Syncing	150 requests/hour	60-min rolling	429 Too Many Requests

These limits are per account and operate on a rolling window.

LinkedIn Platform Limits

These limits are independent of We-Link and apply to the underlying LinkedIn account:

Action	Recommendation	Notes
Connection requests (paid)	80–100/day, ~200/week	With message ≤300 chars
Connection requests (free)	~5/month with note, ~150/week without	200-char message limit
Profile views	~100/day	Not enforced by We-Link
Search results (standard)	1,000/day	LinkedIn caps at 1,000 per query
Search results (Sales Nav)	2,500/day	Up to 2,500 per query
InMails	30–50/day	Depends on subscription
Other actions	100/day/account	Messages, reactions, comments, etc.

info

These are per LinkedIn account limits. They are independent of the API route and do not accumulate across action types.

Planning Your Workload

To efficiently use We-Link while staying within safety limits:

• At 100 requests/hour, plan for roughly 1 request every ~36 seconds on average
• Large tasks may span multiple hours — this is expected for safe operation
• Avoid submitting hundreds of requests at once; spread work across the day
• Use low-traffic times (early morning or late evening in the account's time zone) to reduce scrutiny
• After high-risk actions (bulk messaging or connection requests), allow a 5–10 minute cool down
