You'll receive a new allotment of InMail message credits every month, on the first day of your billing cycle. The InMail messages credit auto-renewal date is based on the date of your initial sign-up. You can find this date on your My Premium page.
Note: For Sales Navigator Core, InMail message credits renew on the 1st of every month, regardless of your billing cycle.
Here's a tip
InMail messages is a Premium account feature. Any InMail messages balance will become zero when a Premium subscription is canceled. InMail message credits are not transferrable when upgrading your account. Premium InMail message credits can't be used to send InMail messages on Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Recruiter.
Understanding credits for InMail messages with and without responses
You can’t send another InMail message to a member until they respond to the first message you sent. An automatic reminder is sent to the recipient within three days of the InMail message being sent.
Every InMail message that is accepted/declined or responded to directly within 90 days of it being sent is credited back. A pending InMail message isn’t counted as either accepted or declined. As part of the LinkedIn messaging experience, Quick Replies to InMail messages also count as a response.
