Hi Linda333,

There is not explicit limit, but on heavy load API handlers may refuse execute some requests. Even more, since change requests to particular namespace are serialized: if there is some request already executing on the namespace you're trying to access, your request may gets delayed and rejected too. Such requests can come from your own application or any other application accessing the same namespace. It's impossible to predict if/when such thing will happen and should be ready to handle the situation if/when happens.

Any suggestions as to how to resolve please?

There are 2 directions to solve this. First is to decrease probability such thing to happen. Decrease the number of changing call to Dropbox as much as possible. Changing call is a call that in fact changes the structure and content of account folder' tree. So, if you have multiple uploads or moves or copy etc. operations at the same time, don't  execute it sequentially, but batch them - there will be one changing call per batch, so decreased probability for calls conflict. Second thing, you can do, is to handle the same call after reasonable delay. Usually such a delay is noted in the error response (as a header) and when so, follow the time delay there. When such delay is missing in response, do exponential back off.

Hope this gives directions
