For people who turned their profile account to professional mode, the number of friends and people who followw you make up the total number of followeers your have .
The limit of friend you can receive, add or send request to is 5k. So if you have 5k followers in total both friends and follooowers , provided your friends are not 5k yet, people can still send you friend request and you can still send people friend request. You can have 2k people who followeed you and 3k people who sent you friend request and you accepted or you sent they accepted. So you still have 2k people to send you request or to accept your request.
That’s why you keep seeing people sending you friend request instead of folloow cos your friend list is not 5k yet. So check your friend list and your followers and understand the difference.
But the moment u reach the limit of friends, which is 5k, then automatically everyone who wants to send you friend request can now only follow cos you have reached the limit and you too can’t send friend request again until u remove some as friends.
That’s all I know before I turned off my PM except fb has made changes then let me know at the c section .
