# Limits and warm-up

> How Kerux keeps each LinkedIn account within safe limits.

Every LinkedIn account in Kerux has daily (and for invitations and InMails, weekly) limits. No campaign, teammate or API call can go over them. For how these fit with the limits on calls to LinkedIn, see [Understanding limits](/help/account-safety/understanding-limits.md).

![A LinkedIn account's settings](https://mintcdn.com/kerux-f37add41/-FJtcSNgMiq_E0RE/images/sender.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=-FJtcSNgMiq_E0RE\&q=85\&s=8e6cb9b309f4c38ab37a0ad9db725e5c)

## Safe defaults

| Action | Per day | Per week |
| - | - | - |
| Invitations | 15 | 80 |
| Messages | 40 | - |
| Profile visits | 50 | - |
| InMails (premium accounts) | 20 | 150 (at most 180) |
| Follows, likes, endorsements | 30 each | - |
| Searches (Find people) | 300 | - |

LinkedIn accounts created less than 30 days ago start lower: 5 invitations per day, 40 per week.

The weekly InMail limit keeps an account under the roughly 800 free Open Profile InMails LinkedIn allows a month (paid InMails are limited by your credits anyway).

## What adjusts the limits by itself

* **Warm-up**: a newly connected account starts at 25% of its limits and adds 10% per week until it reaches 100%. On by default.
* **Low acceptance**: if fewer than 25% of recent invitations are accepted (over at least 20), invitations are halved to protect the account.
* **Good history**: after 30 days connected, with 35% or more of invitations accepted, the weekly invitation limit can go up to 150.

## Change an account's limits

**1. Open the account**

Click **Connect accounts**, then **Manage** on the account's row and **Settings: hours, limits, pacing**.

**2. Edit Limits**

Leave a box empty to use the safe default, or type your own number. You can raise each limit only up to the maximum shown.

**3. Pause between actions**

Set the minimum and maximum seconds between two actions (45 to 180 by default). Kerux picks a random wait in that range so it never looks like a machine. A contact waiting only for this pause shows **Queued: the LinkedIn account will do this soon** with the time, not a daily limit.

## Sending hours

Each campaign only acts on its own days and hours, in its timezone (campaign **Settings > Sending schedule**). Replies you write yourself in the inbox are not held to working hours, but they still count toward the account's limits.

## Common problems

> [accordion] Contacts are waiting for account capacity
>
> The account used today's budget. Contacts continue tomorrow by themselves. To go faster, connect another LinkedIn account and add it to the campaign.

> [accordion] Invitations were halved
>
> Acceptance is low. Try a shorter, more personal note (or no note), and target people closer to your network.
