LinkedIn warm-up

LinkedIn warm-up helps a new or recently restricted account return to normal activity gradually. Vaam starts with low limits and increases them over 14 days until the account reaches the Safe tempo.

What warm-up changes

Section titled “What warm-up changes”

Warm-up changes LinkedIn activity limits only. It does not change your saved tempo, and it does not send emails. During warm-up, Vaam uses the lower of the warm-up limit and your saved tempo.

The ramp starts at about one fifth of the Safe limits and reaches the full Safe limits on day 14. After the 14 days, warm-up ends and your saved tempo applies again. If you selected Standard, Aggressive, or Custom, Vaam keeps that choice for after warm-up.

When warm-up starts

Section titled “When warm-up starts”

For a new LinkedIn connection, Vaam starts warm-up during onboarding. Existing accounts are not added automatically. If you already connected your account, or if you reconnect it, warm-up does not start by itself.

You can start warm-up manually from Settings → LinkedIn Settings. Vaam may recommend it after LinkedIn shows a warning or a short restriction. Open the recommendation and select Start warm-up when you are ready.

If a restriction disconnects your LinkedIn account, reconnect it first. See If Vaam loses your LinkedIn connection. Reconnecting does not start warm-up by itself — start it manually from LinkedIn Settings afterward.

Start or skip warm-up

Section titled “Start or skip warm-up”
  1. Open Settings.
  2. Select LinkedIn Settings.
  3. In LinkedIn warm-up, select Start warm-up.
  4. Review the message, then select Start warm-up again to confirm.

If warm-up starts during onboarding, you can select Skip warm-up. Vaam asks you to confirm before it removes the temporary lower limits. Skipping means that the warm-up limits no longer apply. You can start a new warm-up later from LinkedIn Settings.

Follow your progress

Section titled “Follow your progress”

The LinkedIn warm-up card shows Day N of 14, Progress, and Today’s effective limits. The limits cover hourly actions, daily actions, and weekly connection requests. The card also shows the date when warm-up ends.

Warm-up does not replace your tempo setting. It is a temporary safety layer over that setting. For general LinkedIn safety guidance, see Keeping your LinkedIn account safe and LinkedIn scheduling.
