4. Use "Most Relevant" sort: For maximum comments, use "Most Relevant" which supports full pagination

🔧 Troubleshooting

"No comments found": Check if the post has public comments and your cookies are valid

"Authentication failed": Your LinkedIn cookies may have expired - get fresh ones

"Rate limited": Increase the request delays in advanced settings

"Getting fewer comments than expected": Try "Most Relevant" sort order for better pagination support

1. Check that your LinkedIn cookies are fresh (less than a week old)
2. Verify the post URLs are correct and publicly accessible
3. Try with a smaller number of comments first
