# Why is my export scheduled? (the 2,500 leads per day limit)

<video class="help-video" controls preload="metadata" playsinline poster="https://media.evaboot.com/videos/daily-limit-v1.jpg" src="https://media.evaboot.com/videos/daily-limit-v1.mp4" aria-label="Video: the 2500 leads per day limit, more Sales Navigator accounts, and splitting a big search"></video>

**A Scheduled export is waiting for its Sales Navigator account's daily capacity to come back, then it launches automatically.**

Evaboot exports **2,500 leads or 1,000 accounts per 24 hours, per Sales Navigator account**. This is our own limit, not a plan restriction, so buying more credits does not raise it. We set it there to protect your LinkedIn account.

## Why the limit exists

Exporting runs through your own LinkedIn account, so how fast it runs matters. We cap the day at 2,500 to keep every account well within what it can comfortably sustain.

Tools that advertise bigger numbers only read the search results page, which leaves out the company website that email finding depends on.

Evaboot collects the **full** lead and company data. See [How Do I Export a Sales Navigator Search with Evaboot?](https://help.evaboot.com/public/data-export/how-does-the-sales-navigator-export-work/) for the field list.

## What happens when you reach it

Work you have already launched is not thrown away. The export shows **Scheduled** and launches automatically once that Sales Navigator account has capacity again. Buying credits does not change this.

Your exports are listed at [dash.evaboot.com/dash/exports/](https://dash.evaboot.com/dash/exports/), each with its current status.

## This is not the same as a search bigger than 2,500

Two different things are easy to confuse.

![The daily cap resolves with time and the export shows Scheduled. A search over 2,500 is truncated and the remainder is never collected](https://help.evaboot.com/images/illustrations/daily-cap-vs-truncated.png)

- **The daily cap** applies across everything you export in 24 hours. It resolves itself with time.
- **A single search larger than 2,500 leads** does not. Evaboot takes the first 2,500 and the remainder is never collected, no matter how long you wait.

For a search that big, split it into chunks under 2,500 and export them one at a time: see [How to Split My Search](https://help.evaboot.com/public/data-export/how-to-split-my-search-when-i-have-more-than-2500-leads-1000-accounts/).

## Exporting more per day

The limit applies per Sales Navigator account, so exporting more per day means using more Sales Navigator accounts. See [How to Export More Than 2,500 Leads per Day](https://help.evaboot.com/public/data-export/how-to-export-more-than-2500-leads-per-day/).
