What you lose when you cancel LinkedIn Premium
LinkedIn Premium includes several tiers - Career, Business, Sales Navigator, and Recruiter Lite. When you cancel any paid plan, you revert to the free LinkedIn account. You lose: InMail credits (the ability to message people outside your network), who viewed your profile (beyond the last 5 viewers), Premium career insights, LinkedIn Learning access, and any advanced search filters.
You keep everything that makes LinkedIn valuable for most people: your full network, all existing messages and connection history, your profile, and the ability to send messages to first-degree connections.
