Invitation withdrawal
Cancelling a sent connection request. LinkedIn blocks re-inviting the same person for up to three weeks after withdrawal: so it's cleanup, not a retry button.
Two legitimate uses: clearing the stale pending pile (hygiene), and un-sending a mistake quickly. The anti-pattern is withdraw-and-retry churn on the same targets, which multiplies your automation footprint for zero gain. If someone didn't accept in a month, the answer is a better reason to connect later: or an InMail with actual research: not the same invite again.
In practice
Review an outstanding invitation in LinkedIn and decide whether cancelling it is appropriate based on the actual relationship.
What to check
The reviewed LinkedBoost tool catalog has no invitation-withdrawal operation. Withdrawal does not remove an invitation restriction or authorize immediate re-invitation.
