LinkedIn restrictions
When LinkedIn restricts the account
A LinkedIn restriction means LinkedIn has limited the account. Their help says to disable software that automates the site, and that the account comes back at the time on their notice. DealGate, separately, pauses for 48 hours when it sees a checkpoint, captcha, or restriction banner. That hold cannot be cleared early. It does not set LinkedIn's clock, and it does not promise the account stays open.
Two clocks
DealGate's pause and LinkedIn's restriction are different timers. The chart names both. Only the 48 hours is DealGate's.
01LinkedIn shows a checkpoint, captcha, or restriction banner
DealGate treats that banner as a stop.
02DealGate pauses the account
The queue waits. Profile visits already sit under this pause. Connection requests and follow-up sequences will too, when they ship.
0348 hours
The hold runs for 48 hours. It cannot be cleared early. Stop everything refuses the next action and leaves this hold in place.
04LinkedIn's own restriction
The length is whatever their notice says. This page does not publish a second number for it.
What you might see

How long LinkedIn keeps its restriction. Read the notice they showed you.
You press Stop everything
DealGate
Refuses the next action. Does not clear or shorten a pause that a warning started.
Not confirmed here
Nothing about LinkedIn's timer. Stopping DealGate is not the same as LinkedIn lifting a limit.
You pause DealGate yourself
DealGate
A pause you set yourself can be cleared. A pause that a warning started still cannot.
Not confirmed here
A self-serve pause does not change a restriction LinkedIn has already applied.
Weekly invitation limit
DealGate
Once connection requests are available, new connects wait until Monday 00:00 in the account's local time. Connection requests are coming soon, so this hold is not in use yet.
Not confirmed here
LinkedIn's own weekly invitation number. It is not printed here.
Too many page views
DealGate
A page-view warning pauses everything for 48 hours, the same hold as a checkpoint, captcha, or restriction banner. The hold cannot be cleared early. LinkedIn's help, for this one case, also says to wait 24 hours before viewing more pages. That 24 hours is their sentence.
Not confirmed here
Whether the notice on your account says 24 hours. If it says something else, their notice wins.
Frequently asked questions
What does a LinkedIn restriction mean?
LinkedIn has limited what the account can do. Typical cases in their help include automated activity, too many invitations, and too many page views. The notice on the account is the source for which limit you hit and when it lifts.
What does LinkedIn say about automation tools?
LinkedIn's help says it does not allow third-party software or extensions that scrape the site, change how it looks, or automate activity. Their article on automated activity says to disable that software, and that an account restricted for automated activity is re-enabled at the time on the suspension notice. Repeated restrictions can become permanent, in their words.
How long does a LinkedIn restriction last?
As long as the notice says. This page does not publish a single duration. For the separate case of viewing too many pages, LinkedIn's help says to wait 24 hours. That 24 hours is their sentence for that case, not a universal timer, and it is not DealGate's 48-hour pause.
What should I do if LinkedIn restricts my account?
Read the notice. Disable the tool they are objecting to, which is what their help asks. Wait out the time they printed. Do not open another account to keep sending. Change the password if their help suggests it. Use the time on replies you can answer by hand.
Does DealGate keep going after a warning?
No. A checkpoint, captcha, or restriction banner pauses everything for 48 hours. The hold cannot be cleared early. Stop everything is a separate control: it refuses the next action and leaves the hold in place.
Can any tool promise my LinkedIn account will not be restricted?
No. DealGate's pause is a hold in the product after a banner. LinkedIn still decides. A page that promises otherwise is selling a result this product does not claim.
Is a cloud sender different from a browser session?
Yes. Cloud tools run from their servers, often on an IP they operate. DealGate runs in your Chrome, on the session you already have open, and there is no cloud runner holding the login. The place it runs is not a promise about restrictions. LinkedIn's rules still apply to activity on the account.
Can I use DealGate while the account is restricted?
Let the 48-hour pause run. It cannot be cleared early. A restriction LinkedIn applied is theirs to lift, on their notice.
Do connection requests and automatic visits work today?
Connection requests are coming soon. Automatic profile visits run in your Chrome and count against the daily cap. A note drafted in your voice is coming soon. What is in the product now is the lead list from a search you paste, the ICP score, profile visits, the daily cap and warm-up, and the 48-hour pause.
What does DealGate cost?
$0.99 for your first month, then $29/mo founding price ($49/mo list). One plan. The button on the site says Coming soon.
