Dropbox API rate limits

Hi, I am hitting dropbox API rate limit and I can see 429 status code, I know that dropbox rate limit is per user basis. I just wanted to know the number, How many API calls are allowed per user ...

The rate limit system is based on the rate of API calls from an app-user pair over an amount of time.

What endpoint are you getting that from though? Can you share some code and context so I may be able to offer some advice?
