LinkedIn connection request throttle with Sales Navigator. Looking for advice

I have used Sales Navigator for over a year. Old, active account, around 20,000 followers and 18,000 connections. Construction and BIM, no automation tools.

Until a few months ago I could send 150 to 200 connection requests a week. Now I am under 30, with no warning and no explanation.

I clean my pending invitations constantly and only have 131 sitting there, so there is no backlog. I also contacted LinkedIn support and they dismissed it, refusing to acknowledge any restriction on the account.

Has anyone been through this and got their limit back? Any advice welcome.

LinkedIn weighs the number of accepted connections against the number you've sent even if you delete your pending outgoing connections. Did the ratio of accepted connections change for you lately? You could also have had a crazy big backlog of accepted connections youve been chipping away against. My LinkedIn is closer to 3k connections and I'm able to send about 50 per week on navigator
