Getting banned or restricted from LinkedIn can feel like hitting a wall, especially if you rely on it for lead generation, recruiting, or growing your brand. Whether your account was temporarily restricted or permanently banned, you still have options.
This guide walks you through exactly what to do to recover your LinkedIn account (or rebuild smarter) while using automation tools the right way.
Before taking action, figure out what kind of issue you’re facing:
Temporary LinkedIn restriction:
Usually triggered by excessive outreach, profile scraping, or abnormal behavior. These often lift within a few days once LinkedIn verifies your identity or detects normal behavior again.
Permanent LinkedIn ban:
This means your account has been deactivated and removed. You’ll often receive an email or in-app notification saying you’ve violated LinkedIn’s User Agreement or Community Policies.
Security lock or verification request:
Sometimes LinkedIn locks your account until you verify your identity, especially if it suspects your account has been compromised.
To avoid repeating mistakes, read LinkedIn’s policies and guidelines:
Common reasons for bans include:
You can contact LinkedIn support directly through their help center:
Select:
If you cannot log in, select “Continue without sign in.”
While LinkedIn prefers tickets, you can follow up or escalate through these known support addresses:
When emailing, include your full name, LinkedIn email address, and profile URL.
Tip: Always reference your support ticket number when emailing.
If you believe the LinkedIn restriction was a mistake, or if you're willing to take corrective steps, submit a calm, professional appeal.

I’m following up on my recent ticket regarding my LinkedIn account restriction. I’d be grateful for any update or clarification. I’m eager to resolve this and get back to using LinkedIn professionally.

If your support ticket isn’t getting attention, escalate politely via LinkedIn’s official social profiles:
Use private messages when possible, and include your ticket number. Avoid posting sensitive information publicly.
Support replies typically take 2 to 7 business days. In the meantime:
If your appeal is approved, ease back into activity slowly. Sending 100 connection requests on Day 1 is a quick way to get flagged again.
If LinkedIn confirms the ban is permanent:
Many LinkedIn accounts get banned because of improper or unsafe automation tools that mimic human behavior poorly, spam, scrape, ignore daily limits, or violate LinkedIn’s terms.
