API limits on Personal Plans?
Are there any API limits per month on Personal Dropbox plans?
Saw this post asking about rate limits, but wondering about API limits similar to the Business Plans.
- No, personal plans don't have this upload limit like certain Business plans do. Personal accounts are only subject to the standard general rate limiting system.

- Greg-DBWe don't have any specific numbers documented for the general rate limiting system. It is only designed to prevent abuse though, and is accordingly relatively generous. Further, the limits operate on a per-user basis. That being the case, you generally don't need to worry about hitting it in normal use.
Also note that not all 429s and 503s indicate rate limiting, but in any case that you get a 429 or 503 the best practice is to retry the request, respecting the Retry-After header if given in the response, or using an exponential back-off, if not.
