"Public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic." Please help!

Hi gerry12345, let's see what we can find together on this!

Based on the error you received, it sounds like your access to shared links might have been temporarily paused. You can find out more info at this Help Center article.

Have you recently shared a link which could have been downloaded many times, or to a large file? Also, is this the first time that this happens? 

This will help me to assist further!

Hello
Yes I did share a link to 2 people, it wasn't that large, but I have since deleted the file and even the folder it was in.
Yes this also is the first time I have had this issue.

Hey gerry12345, do you still get the same error when trying to share content? 

If so, then can I send you an email in order for us to investigate further? 

Yes I get this message when I try to share a link:
"Couldn’t complete share
We’ve interrupted your sharing activity. For details or to contact support, read our help center article."

Hey gerry12345, no worries! 

I just sent you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this.

Reply back to me, and we'll take it from there!

Hi Megan . 
I am still getting these emails:

"Public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic."

I have deleted the files that were originally shared. What else can I do?

Hey gerry12345 - sorry to hear about this. Are you also getting an error when trying to share files or links now or only the emails? 

Did you try getting back to Megan via your ticket? 

Hello.
I just tested trying to share a file and that seems fine with no issues. So it seems I am just still getting the error emails.
(and no updates from Megan other than sending me an email to confirm my address)

Hey gerry12345, I hope you're doing well!

I replied back to our email chain a couple hours ago. Did you have the chance to review my reply?
