Ramp-up and automatic pauses

Two mechanisms do most of the protective work: the ramp-up, which keeps a new account from starting too fast, and the automatic pauses, which stop activity the moment something looks wrong.

Ramp-up: four weeks, step by step

A newly connected account does not start at full pace. It begins at 20% of its cadence and climbs step by step over four weeks until it reaches its normal allowance. This mirrors how a person naturally builds activity, and it protects the accounts most vulnerable to restrictions — recent ones, and accounts that were quiet for a long time.

The account detail shows the current ramp-up stage (for example, “week 2”). The ramp-up curve can be adjusted from the account's settings — downward or slower, never past the hard caps — and applies to the account's next allowances.

When the agent stops on its own

The agent pauses without asking whenever continuing could hurt the account:

• LinkedIn slows the account down — at the first such signal, the account's activity freezes. Repeated signals write the day off entirely for that account.
• The account disconnects — a password change, a security checkpoint, an expired session: all campaigns using that account pause immediately, you are notified, and other accounts continue unaffected.
• A prospect replies — their follow-ups stop everywhere, across every campaign. See Stop on reply.

Resuming

Pauses resume cleanly: nothing is lost, nothing is sent twice, and the backlog is smoothed out over the following days rather than drained at once.
