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 ...

Thanks Gregory,

In my code I am actually trying to get all the folder and file details for each user, and Also to get shared details for each file and folder. I have around 50K files. In case sequential execution everything works as expected. If I try to list files and folders with multiple process then I am hitting rate limits. Here I am trying to run 3 processes at a time.

So In this case just wanted to confirm, If I do some amount of calls in the same time. Does it hit rate limits?

Thanks,

Murali
