We're happy to share that LinkedIn connections within Buffer are working smoothly once again.

We are currently aware that customers are hitting error messages when attempting to make new LinkedIn channel connections, as well as when trying to refresh existing LinkedIn connections in Buffer, too. This issue is coming from LinkedIn's own API, and is something that they are currently investigating, too. We are following along with their investigation and we will update our own status page accordingly as soon as we have any further information. We're very sorry for the inconvenience that this is causing and we hope we will be able to resume normal service with LinkedIn again soon.
