too many requests to add members
Hi,
I tried to use python to add a member to a folder. Everything worked fine at first, but unfortunately I misused the tool. Because instead of using a separate method for sending email messages, ...
Yes, I refer to sharing_add_folder_member. I use it as follows.
member_selector = dropbox.sharing.MemberSelector.email(<email_address>)
add_member = dropbox.sharing.AddMember(member_selector,dropbox.sharing.AccessLevel.viewer)
members = [add_member]
dbx.sharing_add_folder_member(<shared_folder_id>, members)Previously, it worked fine, but now the script runs endlessly. It doesn't return any error. Am I doing something wrong that doesn't return an error?
From the dropbox interface in the browser, it returns the error "Folder updates in progress. Please try again later."
Maybe there are some pending invites or I have been banned. But how can I check it?

Dropbox Community ModeratorThe sharing_add_folder_member method should either return a result, or raise an exception. I can't say based on this snippet what is happening with your code execution flow, so I recommend stepping through with a debugger to see where it is hanging or infinitely looping. Let me know if something is broken in the Dropbox API/SDK itself when you do so and we can investigate.
In any case, I can only help with the API itself, so for any questions or help regarding your account state itself, please contact support.
