Two different ceilings
Listful has a soft pagination ceiling per surface (page size × max pages). LinkedIn often stops returning pages earlier. A short CSV is usually LinkedIn truncation or dedupe by profile URN — not a hidden credit meter.
Surface-by-surface (Sep 2026)
Classic people search: Listful 1,000, often ~1,000 from LinkedIn. Sales Nav people search: 2,500. Post reactions and comments: 3,000 each. Groups: 5,000. Company people and event attendees: 1,000. Connections: 30,000. Exact page sizes live on each /export page and in surface docs.

Questions.
Q01Does “unlimited CSV” mean infinite LinkedIn pages?
No. It means no Listful account gate and no per-row credits for download. Fair-use pacing, Listful pagination ceilings, and LinkedIn truncation still apply.
Q02What is the Sales Navigator export limit?
Listful paginates up to 2,500 leads on Sales Navigator people search when LinkedIn keeps returning pages.
Q03Why did classic search stop around 1,000?
LinkedIn often stops classic people search around ~1,000 results — the same ceiling Listful uses (10 × 100). The file reflects what the API returns.
Q04Post reactions and comments — same cap?
Both have a Listful ceiling of 3,000. They are separate jobs; running both on one post can yield two files of up to ~3,000 each.
Q05Do caps change?
We publish them on money pages and this guide with an as-of date. Bump SEO_CONTENT_DATE when product ceilings change.
Q06Connections really go to 30,000?
Yes — Listful’s ceiling for your own 1st-degree list. Location is often empty on that surface.
Q07Events and company people?
Both typically stop around 1,000 attendees or employees when LinkedIn stops paging.
