Volume and schedule

How many connection requests your agent sends per day, how to change it, and why the ceiling is deliberately low.

The defaults: your agent sends at most 20 connection requests per day — your daily allowance — spread through the day in a human-like rhythm. LinkedIn itself also limits invitations to roughly 100–200 per week on a rolling, per-account window. More on the daily rhythm in a day in your agent's life.

Change your volume

  1. Open your Ninja — the Ask your Ninja button, top right. Volume is controlled here, not through a settings form.
  2. Say what you want, plainly:
    • "Send at most 5 connection requests per day."
    • "Go back to the default daily volume."
  3. Your Ninja confirms the new limit. You can check what's active anytime by asking "What are my current sending limits?"

20 is the ceiling, not a default you can raise. You can set anything from 1 to 20 a day; there is no setting above 20, and asking for one won't unlock it. Lowering is always safe — 5 a day is a perfectly good setting if you want a trickle you can watch closely.

You control how much your agent sends; it handles when on its own, pacing requests through human-like hours so you don't have to set a schedule. Changes apply from the next sending window; they don't recall requests already sent today.

Why the ceiling exists

It's tempting to want more, but the bottleneck is almost never how many invites go out:

  • Account safety. Aggressive sending is the #1 trigger for LinkedIn restrictions. The allowance exists to keep your account healthy — see LinkedIn safety.
  • LinkedIn's own ceiling. Even at 20 a day, LinkedIn's weekly limit is the real cap. Doubling daily volume would mostly mean hitting that wall and going quiet.
  • Quality beats quantity. Acceptance and reply rates move results far more than raw invites. Sharper targeting and better message rules are the levers that pay.

If you genuinely need more volume, the way to get it is a second seat — one teammate, one LinkedIn account, one agent. See billing and seats.

Common questions

I set 5 per day but the dashboard shows fewer some days. Broken?
Usually not. A day with fewer qualified leads ready, or LinkedIn's invite ceiling being in force, both produce lower numbers. Quiet days are normal — the decision tree is in no activity today.

My dashboard says "Invites paused". What is that?
LinkedIn capped invitations on your account. Your agent stops sending requests, keeps sending messages and follow-ups, and retries about a day later. Nothing for you to do.

Can I pause everything for a while?
Yes — tell your Ninja: "Pause all outreach until [date]." Follow-ups to existing conversations can be paused too; say so explicitly if you want total silence. (That's different from pausing your subscription — see billing and seats.)

Does the daily allowance include follow-up messages?
No — the allowance counts connection requests only. Follow-up messages ride the cadence and stop automatically for anyone who replies.

Will raising the allowance get me more meetings?
It isn't raisable, and it wouldn't. If accepts or replies are low, fix targeting and messaging — see improve your results.
