Daily Limits and Active Hours #

Limits are per LinkedIn account. You find them in Settings, on the LinkedIn accounts tab, inside the row for that account, next to what the account has already done today.

The daily ceilings #

Connection requests and messages per day are the two you can change, using Connection requests / day and Messages / day. Profile views and searches are managed for you.

The connection ceiling is LinkedIn’s own, not ours. LinkedIn allows roughly a hundred invitations a week, so 25 a day is the top of the safe range.

Searches also have a monthly allowance of 300 per account, because LinkedIn’s own monthly search allowance stops answering for everyone using the account once it is spent, including you in your own browser. SDRPilot paces itself across the month rather than spending it in the first ten days.

A day means that account’s day. It starts and ends at midnight where the account connects from, which is explained under Timezone below.

Warm-up #

Every newly connected account starts on a warm-up ramp, and the ramp rises by one step each day rather than jumping.

At the default limits the ramp finishes around day 16, and the account row shows where you are, for example Day 6 of 16 or Fully warmed up. The ramp is a ceiling, never a floor, so if you set a limit below the ramp, your own number is what applies.

You can switch warm-up off, and SDRPilot asks you to confirm in writing first. It is the one setting on this page that can get an account restricted on its own.

Unanswered invitations #

Sending pauses while too many of your sent invitations are still unanswered. Unlike the daily count, this number only falls when somebody accepts or an invitation is withdrawn.

Leave Max unanswered invitations empty and it is worked out for you: thirty days of your own sending, which is 600 at the default of 20 a day and 750 at 25 a day. Type a number if you want a different ceiling.

To keep that pile draining, SDRPilot withdraws invitations that have been outstanding for more than thirty days, oldest first, a few at a time. It runs every few hours and withdraws at most five per run and twenty per account per day. Those people are not invited again.

Active hours #

Active hours decide when your agent may act. On the Active hours tab you get an on and off switch, a start and end time, and a day picker for Monday to Sunday. The default window is 08:00 to 20:00, seven days a week.

The window applies to each LinkedIn account on its own clock, the one of the country it connects from, so 08:00 to 20:00 means that account’s morning and evening. See Timezone below.

Outside the window, outbound actions and profile and discovery reads wait for the next opening instead of being dropped. Reading your inbox and checking for incoming connection requests keep running, so a reply that arrives at night is still there in the morning and is answered when the window opens.

Timezone #

Your workspace timezone is filled in automatically when you first sign in, from your browser’s timezone. Change it on the General tab if it is wrong, and a zone you choose yourself is never overwritten.

Each account keeps its own hours #

Every LinkedIn account also has a timezone of its own, and that is the one its active hours, its daily limits and their reset are measured in. It is set from the country the account connects from, because that is where its activity looks like it is happening: an account that only ever acts in the middle of the night at the address it signs in from is one of the things LinkedIn restricts accounts for.

So a workspace in New York with an account connecting from Hong Kong has that account working 08:00 to 20:00 Hong Kong time, while the rest of the workspace stays on New York time. Your other accounts are not affected.

For the handful of countries that span several zones, such as the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil, you pick the one you want while connecting the account.

You can change it afterwards on the account’s row in Settings, under LinkedIn accounts, with Change time zone. Choosing a zone outside the account’s country asks you to confirm first, because that is the pattern above. It is allowed, and it is the right answer when the person who owns that LinkedIn account really does work those hours. A zone you set by hand is never changed back automatically.

Which hours AI replies use #

Replies written by your AI agent are sent inside the same account hours. If one is ready outside the window it waits for the next opening and goes out in the order it was written. A message you type yourself in SDRPilot is sent straight away at any hour.
