Is there a daily post limit on LinkedIn?
No. LinkedIn’s help pages set no daily cap for a personal profile or a Page, so you can post as often as you like by hand. The limits that exist are on what one post can hold and on the requests an app makes for you:

| Limit | Value |
|---|---|
| Posts per day | No limit set |
| Post text | 3,000 characters |
| Images | Up to 20 in one post, 5 MB each |
| Video | One, up to 5,120 MB and 30 minutes |
| Document | One PDF, PowerPoint or Word file, up to 100 MB |
| App requests | 150 per member a day, reset at midnight UTC |
How does LinkedIn’s API limit work?
An app that posts for you, such as a scheduler, uses LinkedIn’s Share on LinkedIn product, which allows 150 requests per member each UTC day. They are requests, not posts: a text or link post is one, while an image or video post first registers its upload, which is a request of its own. A request over the limit gets an error until the next UTC day. At normal posting rates the limit is far away.
How often should you post on LinkedIn?
Two to five times a week is a sound default. Buffer’s frequency guide (13 January 2026) recommends that range from its own data; it is a recommendation about performance, not a rule LinkedIn enforces. Quality matters more on LinkedIn than raw volume, so post when you have something worth reading. The full comparison of studies is in the LinkedIn posting schedule guide, and every network’s ranges are in how often to post on social media.
How do you schedule LinkedIn posts within the limits?
With SkedCast: write the post, and the composer counts the 3,000 characters and checks the images, video or document against LinkedIn’s limits as you add them. Pick the time for each profile or Page, add a first comment or a poll if you want, and schedule. Bulk import loads a month of posts at once and spaces each account’s posts out. Check the length with the LinkedIn character counter, and see the LinkedIn scheduler for every option.
