If you reach the commercial use limit for searching, your activity on LinkedIn indicates that you're likely using LinkedIn for commercial use, like hiring or prospecting.
You'll see a warning as you approach the limit. Your free monthly usage resets at midnight PST on the 1st of each calendar month. We are not able to display the exact number of searches or views you have left and we also cannot lift the limit upon request. Also note that the warning that you are approaching the limit may not display if you run through the full amount of searches or views too quickly.
Specific activities that contribute to the limit include:
-
Searching for LinkedIn profiles on LinkedIn.com and mobile
-
Browsing LinkedIn profiles using the People Also Viewed section located on the right pane of a profile
-
Viewing member profiles on the People tab of LinkedIn Pages
These activities do not count toward the limit:
-
Searching profiles by name using the search box located at the top of every page on LinkedIn.com
-
Browsing your 1st-degree connections from the Connections page
-
Searching for jobs on the Jobs page
You can always upgrade to any one of the below mentioned LinkedIn's Premium account plans to increase the number of profile searches and views.
Here's a tip
Our Premium DACH Essentials plans still include the commercial use limit.
If you choose to cancel your Premium subscription, you will be given the basic limit of search and profile browsing. In addition, your limit will not be reset upon cancellation.
