Why nothing is sending, and the one thing to do about each

A quiet day is usually the product doing its job. Today says which reason applies; this is the full list, in the order it checks.

• Nothing approved. Approving the first three cards is what starts sending; a queue of drafts is not a schedule.
• Warm-up. The first three days send 5 a day, and the cap reaches 20 after about three weeks. The day's count on Today shows the cap.
• Under 150 connections. A near-empty profile sending invitations is the pattern LinkedIn restricts most reliably, so the product refuses, and asks before taking your money.
• Outside working hours. Invitations go on weekdays inside the hours you set, at irregular gaps. Nothing goes at night in your time zone.
• A checkpoint or a sign-in needed. LinkedIn ended the session; /account says so and Connect starts a new one.
• The accept-rate breaker. When too few invitations are accepted, the cap halves, then sending stops, before LinkedIn notices the same number. The digest names the rate and when it is re-checked.
• The day's model budget. Each workspace may spend up to $0.50 a day on the writing model; past it, the search resumes tomorrow. Approved messages still send.

Each of these also appears in the weekly digest with the one thing to do. The numbers are on the limits page.
