6 years agoYes, the Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system. (That's not what's happening here though. If an app hits the rate limit, the Dropbox API would reply with a 429 error status, not a 500.)
Anyway, we'll try to look into this based on the timestamps, but please do share the request IDs if possible. Thanks!

6 years agoWe're looking into this, but we'll need some request IDs to be sure we're identifying the right issue(s). Were you able to add the logging? Please share some request IDs for some failures, ideally from today. Thanks!

Great, thanks, that's helpful. I'll follow up here once I have an update on that for you.
Also, if you're still seeing an issue on get_metadata, please share some request IDs for that as well. Thanks!
