linkedin account banned after sending connection requests

Sent 50 connection requests on LinkedIn over 3 days and got banned. All requests were to relevant people in my industry, not random spam.

Is LinkedIn just that strict now, or did I trigger something specific?

fifty requests in three days is spam

Was the account new or established?

Account was 6 months old with 200 connections.

The pattern: sudden spike in connection requests on an account with low activity.

LinkedIn's detection doesn't care about relevance. It cares about velocity. 50 requests in 3 days from an account that previously sent 0 is a spam pattern.

warm up first
