Public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic.
I got a notice last week saying my public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic. I looked at links, and I don't have very many - and haven't added any new ones in a long time.
I clicked the link to remove the suspension and it worked. Then I got the same message again and the link now won't let me reset it. I don't even know what is causing the excessive traffic.
I looked in my shared folders and most that are shared are small. There are some large folders that were shared with me, but they say "You haven't joined this folder."
Any idea how I can find the source, and get this suspension removed?

Thanks for the screenshot! As a test, can you please go to your Dropbox account now and let me know if you’re still getting an error? You can attempt to share one of your folders, for example, to test this out.

Welcome to our Community, enerjazz! Hope you’re doing well.
Your Dropbox account’s sharing activity can be interrupted indeed, if you exceed your daily bandwidth limit, as outlined here.
While it's not possible to pinpoint exactly which folder/file caused this exactly, could one of the bullet points mentioned in the Help Center article above apply in your case, as well?
If you're still getting the same error now, can you please send me a screenshot of it?
Keep me posted.
Here's the email. When I click the reset link I get the second screenshot.

I just shared a small folder, and it seems to be working again. Thanks.
