I ran into this while doing local web development and using the LinkedIn badge feature (profile.js). I was only getting the 999 Request denied in Chrome, so I just cleared my browser cache and localStorage and it started to work again.

UPDATE - Clearing cache was just a coincidence and the issue came back. LinkedIn is having issues with their badge functionality.

I submitted a help thread to their forums. https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/forum/question/714971
