Lesson 6 of 9 · 4 min
How many, how fast, and what gets accounts restricted
LinkedIn publishes no daily comment limit. What it does publish is the behaviour it punishes: automation, repetition, and anything that looks like an unreasonable load. Everything below is about staying on the right side of that while doing enough to matter.
The numbers
- Start at five good comments a day. Not five minutes; five comments that pass the specificity test. That is about twenty minutes once the searches are saved.
- Grow to ten or fifteen over a month if replies are coming. Past that, quality drops before the numbers improve, and the people who see three comments from you under three posts in one afternoon start to notice the pattern rather than the content.
- Spread them across the day. Fifteen comments in eight minutes is a burst, and bursts are what filters look for.
What a restriction looks like
Comments that post but no one can see, then a notice that your account is restricted. If it happens: stop, disconnect any browser extension or tool that touches LinkedIn, leave it for two days, and come back doing everything by hand at half the previous volume.
Checked The source gives no volume guidance and no numbers. Reports of a comment cap are practitioner accounts, not a LinkedIn statement.
The video generates five hundred drafts and says reply rates are “really, really high” without a figure. In spring 2025 a number of LinkedIn users reported comments being throttled at around thirty a day; LinkedIn has never confirmed a limit. What it has written down is the User Agreement clause against placing “an unreasonable load on the Services (e.g., spam...).” The figures in this lesson are ours, chosen to stay well under any reported threshold; treat them as a starting point, not a rule.
