How many LinkedIn connection requests can I send per week?
LinkedIn does not publish a weekly invitation quota. The help pages say invitations have a limit, Basic and Premium accounts both sit under it, and the point of the limit is to cut spam. They do not say 100 a week, 20 a day, or any other number you can treat as a budget.
Tool blogs still repeat 100 a week because that is where a lot of aged, healthy accounts seem to bump the wall. It is a cluster of operator reports, not a published cap. A five-year personal profile with strong acceptance often has more room than a two-week sales seat on the same plan. Copying someone else's number onto a new account is how the new account spends the next week locked.
If you need a planning number, use 40 to 60 thoughtful invites a week on a warmed account, and far fewer on a new or recently recovered one. Spread them across weekdays. A burst of 80 requests on Monday still looks like a burst even if you stay under a rumored weekly total.
Acceptance matters more than the send count. A week of ignored requests, a pile of pending invites, and a few "I don't know this person" marks will shrink the room you have next week. Hitting 99 to "use the quota" is how you discover your personal ceiling the hard way.
Premium does not buy extra invitations. It lets you attach a note to more of them. The scarce object is still the invite. If you want the longer version of this, read LinkedIn weekly connection limits.
Frequently asked questions
Treat it as a rolling window, not a calendar week. If you send a large batch on Wednesday, do not expect a fresh pile on Monday morning. Spread volume so you never need to guess the reset.
No. Paid search and InMail credits are separate products. Invitation limits still follow account trust, acceptance, pending volume, and prior restrictions.
Only if your account already lives there without warnings, and even then it is a rumor, not a target. Most teams are safer at half that, with notes that give people a reason to accept.
Follow the person, join a relevant group, spend InMail if you have credits, or message people you already know. LinkedIn lists those as alternatives. They do not replace a good invite. They keep you from spending one on a stranger with no context.
