Every connected account shows a connection status and a risk level. Check both weekly, and know what each one does not cover.
Statuses
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Active | Connected and running | None |
| Needs attention | LinkedIn wants re-authentication | Resolve on LinkedIn, then reconnect |
| Limited | A weekly allowance or a LinkedIn limit was hit | Wait for the window to reset |
| Paused | Stopped by you or automatically | Investigate before resuming |
| Disconnected | Credentials invalid | Reconnect |
What the risk level actually reflects
Each account carries a risk level, and it is worth being precise about what it does and does not tell you. It is derived from the account’s connection status, not from campaign performance:
| Status | Risk level |
|---|---|
| Needs re-authentication | High |
| Paused | Medium |
| Anything else | Low |
So a low risk level means LinkedIn has not asked us to re-authenticate. It does not mean your targeting is healthy. Doreach cannot see whether your acceptance rate is collapsing and will not warn you about it. That judgement is yours, from the campaign analytics.
The warning signs that matter
In the order they usually appear:
- Acceptance rate falling below 20%. The earliest and most reliable signal, and the one you can act on before anything breaks.
- Unexpected verification prompts when logging in normally.
- A growing pile of pending invitations. Withdraw ones older than about three weeks; they drag the ratio down.
- Messages not delivering or search results thinning out.
What to do at the first sign
Reduce daily limits by half. Pause the worst-performing campaign, usually the one with the loosest audience. Withdraw stale invitations. Leave it a week before touching volume again.
Almost every permanent closure is preceded by warnings that were visible and ignored. The first restriction is a signal to change the approach, not to change tools.
