From the Brave Help Center database: “the maximum number of Brave Rewards wallet instances you may verify or link to a custodial account is 4. This is a lifetime cap, which means that each connection counts toward your maximum even if a Brave installation has since been disconnected from the custodial account or uninstalled.” [Link](https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056508071-How-many-Brave-Rewards-wallets-can-be-linked-to-my-crypto-custodian-account-) ---

What does it mean account? Like number of brave browser installs? I just have 1 uphold account. I’ve only installed brave on my phone, my laptop, and my old computer (3 devices). I just upgrade my old computer and re-installed brave onto my new computer and I’ve apparently reached my limit… ---

Yeah it’s so frustrating. I only use my pc and mobile, but since I reformat my pc I can no longer link my wallet. Hopefully they would do an action for this issue ASAP. Most pc user’s do maintenances like reformatting their PC’s to refresh it up, And some cases, to get rid of Viruses or any threats so if anti virus can solve it only reformat would do. ---

Same issue. Using Brave on on two computers, but with nightly and stable builds. Had them all linked to Gemini. Now I had to reinstall my OS and I definitely disconnected my Gemini connection before, but it turns out that is just useless in this instance. There definitely needs to be a control settings for that. ---

Yeah I am having the same issue, I had installed Brave on my phone, tablet and my laptop. A week back I updated my laptop from Windows 10 to Windows 11 and since then I cant link my Brave rewards to Uphold. It says “Wallet linking failed. Your wallet cannot be verified because you’ve reached the maximum verified device limit” ---

Hi all, If you have reached the wallet linking limit, please see the following post for instructions on how to submit a wallet unlinking request: > [@Unable to re-verify wallet](https://community.brave.app/t/unable-to-re-verify-wallet/279742/118): > > Attention After a thorough review of all your log files, almost every single user here is unable to verify their wallet due to hitting the wallet linking limit (four browser wallets per custodial account). Given the number of users encountering this issue, we’ve created a form for users to submit a wallet “unlinking” request. Note that at this time, we can only remove one wallet per custodial account. This will allow you to verify an additional wallet/device to that custodial account. What i… For devices that have been reformatted or reinstalled Brave, this will create a new wallet and taking up 1 of 4 slots. Hopefully this clarifies any confusion. ---
