Key takeaways
- LinkedIn has no published fixed daily post limit for personal profiles — API quotas are set per app and per member and not made public; common guidance is 1-2 posts a day.
- Platforms change these limits without much notice — treat this as a checkpoint, not a permanent guarantee.
Why there’s no single published number
LinkedIn’s Developer Portal describes API access as governed by application-level and per-member daily quotas, set individually rather than published as one fixed figure any developer or scheduling tool can cite with certainty.
Commonly cited practical guidance
- 1-2 posts per day is the most commonly recommended pace for personal profiles
- Spacing posts at least 3+ hours (some guidance suggests 18+ hours) apart is recommended to avoid one post overshadowing another
- SkedCast’s own default anti-spam pacing caps LinkedIn at 100 posts/day with 10-minute spacing — a conservative technical ceiling, not the recommended organic posting rhythm above
