If LinkedIn rejects a post
Cursor sees the same message and can fix the post for you.

| Unable to obtain activity | LinkedIn was slow to process the post. Retry it from the calendar a minute later. |
| Carousel can only be created with 2 or more images and no videos. | Add a second picture or remove the video, or turn off the carousel setting. |
| Comments can only contain text. | Remove pictures from the comment parts. Only the first part can have media. |
