Issue while deleting account

I'll be happy to help with any issues you're having with the Dropbox API, but I'll need some more information. Please reply with:

• the name and version number of the platform and SDK/library you are using, if any
• the steps to reproduce the issue, including relevant code snippet(s)
• the full text of any error or unexpected output, including response headers, if possible

We are using dropbox REST API v2 version. We hit below endpoint to remove a member.

https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/team/members/remove

Error received -  Error Code: 504 Internal Server Error

Also some times it takes ages to get the response back after hitting above endpoint.

This happenes only when we remove the member from the team.

Also on the dropbox system if we remove the member, it takes lot of time to execute the request.

Thanks for the information. It sounds like something during the processing of removing the member is taking a long time on the Dropbox server, and eventually timing out server-side. Would you be able to share the response headers though? In particular, a few sample 'X-Dropbox-Request-Id' values would be helpful in tracking this down on our side.

Hi Greg,

Not sure if i can provide you the response header, reason is we execute the endpoint from our automation application and how to get response header needs to be checked. If it helps here's the accesstoken with which we execute the request - <REDACTED>

I will check into response header, meanwhile please let us know if any other information is required

Traye1 I've redacted it from your post, but for future reference, please do not post or share your access token, for your security.

Anyway, the specific request IDs would be ideal, but I'll try to look this up without them. I'll let you know when I have an update on this.

Hi,

Here is the error code we receive when we get the internal server error.

Please check below http logs from the application. It contains all the response information from dropbox. Hilighted few important things.

Thanks! We're looking into it. I'll follow up here once I have an update on this.

Hi Greg,

Do we have any update on this? We are still facing this issue consistently.

Traye1 This is still open with engineering, but I don't have an update on it yet. I'll follow up here once I do.

Hi Greg,

Is there any way we can increase the priority of this issue? We are facing this for more than a month now and would like it to be resolved.
