Platform limits

How many posts can you schedule on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn gives a scheduling window, not a count: it states no maximum number of posts waiting, and shows a badge with how many you have queued. The limits that bite are what its own scheduler cannot handle, which differ between a profile and a Company Page. This guide lists every limit from LinkedIn Help, read on 4 November 2026, then how a scheduler such as SkedCast plans further ahead and schedules the post types LinkedIn cannot.

By Angelina F. · Updated · 7 min read

LinkedIn sets no maximum number of scheduled posts. It sets a window: 10 minutes to 3 months ahead on a profile, and an hour to 3 months on a Company Page. Events and jobs cannot be scheduled, and Pages also cannot schedule polls or multi-photo posts. SkedCast schedules all of these up to 12 months ahead.

Key takeaways

  • LinkedIn documents a window, not a cap: no maximum number of scheduled posts is stated on either help page.
  • Profile posts: 10 minutes to 3 months ahead; Company Page posts: an hour to 3 months ahead.
  • LinkedIn cannot schedule events or jobs; Company Pages also cannot schedule multiple photos, reshares, polls or service posts.
  • SkedCast holds the post and publishes it itself, so it schedules up to 12 months ahead, including Page polls, multi-image posts and documents.
  • Posting frequency is advice, not a limit: Buffer’s 2026 data points to two to five LinkedIn posts a week.

How many posts can you schedule on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn does not state a number. Its Schedule posts page and its Pages scheduling page set how far ahead you can schedule, and neither gives a maximum count; the profile composer shows a badge with the number of posts in your queue. No figure is documented, so a number quoted elsewhere is an estimate. What LinkedIn does document:

Illustration: a long calendar strip of queued work posts, a document, a poll and a multi-photo card, running off into the distance past its end, with a briefcase, an office building and a clock at its start.

How far in advance can you schedule a LinkedIn post?

Up to 3 months in LinkedIn’s own scheduler. A profile post can be set from 10 minutes ahead, in 30-minute steps or at a time you type, and LinkedIn converts it to UTC from your device’s time zone. A Company Page post needs at least an hour. To see the queue on a profile, select Start a post, then the clock icon, then View all scheduled posts; on a Page, any admin can view, edit, reschedule and delete scheduled posts, including those another admin scheduled.

Is there a daily limit on how many LinkedIn posts you can publish?

LinkedIn’s help pages state no daily post cap for a profile or a Page. The useful question is how often to post, and the published guidance is a recommendation: Buffer’s frequency guide, updated 13 January 2026, says two to five posts a week on LinkedIn, with reach higher again at six to ten a week in its data. The full comparison of studies is in the LinkedIn posting schedule guide, and the posting limits reference has the quick version.

Can a scheduling tool go beyond LinkedIn’s 3-month window?

Yes. LinkedIn’s Posts API publishes a post when it is sent and has no publish-at time, so a scheduler keeps the post in its own calendar and sends it when the time comes. LinkedIn’s 3-month window and its list of post types it cannot schedule describe LinkedIn’s own composer, not what a scheduler can hold. SkedCast schedules up to 12 months ahead; at the moment of publishing, LinkedIn’s posting rules apply as usual.

Diagram: a LinkedIn post is scheduled either in LinkedIn, up to 3 months ahead without polls or multi-photo posts on a Page, or in SkedCast, held and sent at the set time up to 12 months ahead; both publish on LinkedIn.
Two ways to schedule a LinkedIn post, and where each limit applies.

What can SkedCast schedule that LinkedIn’s own scheduler cannot?

Because SkedCast publishes each post itself, the types LinkedIn’s Page scheduler leaves out can be scheduled for both profiles and Company Pages:

Scheduling a LinkedIn post: LinkedIn’s own scheduler and SkedCast
PostLinkedIn, Company PageSkedCast
How far aheadUp to 3 monthsUp to 12 months
Several photosNot schedulableUp to 20 images
PollNot schedulableYes: a question, 2 to 4 options and a duration
Document (PDF, PowerPoint or Word)Not listedYes, one per post
VideoYesYes, one per post
First commentNoYes, posted right after the post

Can you schedule LinkedIn posts for a Company Page with a tool?

Yes. SkedCast publishes to personal profiles and to the Company Pages you manage, from the same calendar. On LinkedIn’s side, posting for a Page needs an admin or content admin role on that Page, so connect the account that holds it. See how to schedule LinkedIn posts for the connection steps.

Are there LinkedIn API limits a scheduler has to respect?

Yes, but they count requests, not posts. LinkedIn limits its API per application and per member over a day that resets at midnight UTC, and answers a request over the limit with a 429 error. Its Share on LinkedIn page lists 150 requests a day per member for posting; an image or video post also spends a request to register its upload. A scheduler spaces posts to stay within those limits; they do not cap how many posts your calendar can hold.

What are SkedCast’s LinkedIn rules once a post is scheduled?

SkedCast checks a LinkedIn post against LinkedIn’s rules when you schedule it: up to 3,000 characters, with a link counted at its full length; text-only posts allowed; up to 20 images, one video or one document; and a poll that cannot be combined with media. You can choose who sees the post and add a first comment that posts right after it publishes. See how to schedule LinkedIn polls and how to bulk schedule social media posts.
