Answer 1

I've been importing photos with the 'picture-urls::(original)' field for years but since 2018/2/26 about half of profiles have not been returning this field and since 2018/3/1 none of them have been returning it.

There's no API status available that I'm aware of. I've experienced many LinkedIn API issues that have lasted 2-3 days and then mysteriously disappear. This is an unusually long one though.
