I would like to know if it is at all OK to use the Past Perfect 3 times in a sentence. This seems strange to me but I have seen it with my own eyes and I would really like some clarification. Please help
.

There is no law that says you can't use it a million times in one sentence.
But it would be better if you provided an example or two, please.

I hadn't been advised that the rain had already stopped before they had left.
