Thank you Greg for the response.
The problem might be then with the per user limiting because it is a single web service downloading all the photos and processing them. I am still in development stage so for the Android app it is only one user also.
The strange thing is that in the Android app there is no problem with the rate. It just gets all the photos no problem, and currently I have 1000+ photos there. When I send the token to the web service it then tries to get the photos that it didn't process before. In the first run it will always get 1000+ photos.
I am trying to get the same behavior as an app like PictureLife when it connects to Dropbox it fetches the information from the photos.
The biggest issue is that this worked well before, it fetched the photos even with 10 threads at the same time, and the same huge number. But now it gives a huge amount of 429 statuses.
