Steps

  1. Expect separate application-level and member-level usage quotas that LinkedIn does not publish as fixed numbers in documentation
  2. Look up the actual limit for a given endpoint in the LinkedIn Developer Portal's app analytics, since it is account/app specific
  3. On a throttling (429-style) response, stop and check for redundant or duplicate calls before retrying
  4. Implement exponential backoff rather than fixed-interval retries when a throttle response is received
  5. Watch for developer portal usage alerts that indicate you are approaching an assigned quota
  6. If sustained limits are insufficient, escalate through the LinkedIn partner relationship rather than working around the throttle
