https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/auth/token/from_oauth1 returns for some tokens 500 server error

Hi,   We are migrating from oauth1 to oauth2 and use your from_oauth1 url to get the new token.   The endpoint works for most of our users bug with some tokens we only get a internal server error...

    Thanks! That's helpful. We're looking into it.

    It looks like this is an improperly handled rate limit on our side, resulting in the 500, so you should slow down these calls. Also, make sure you're only calling this once per OAuth 1 access token.

Hi Gerald, can you share some sample X-Dropbox-Request-Id response header values for these errors so we can look into it? Thanks in advance!
