    <title>topic Re: API Limits using /2/files/download in Dropbox API Support &amp; Feedback</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;1.&amp;nbsp; The Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, but we don't have any specific numbers documented, so I can't say off hand if you would or wouldn't hit the limits. Also note that not all 429s and 503s indicate explicit rate limiting, but in any case that you get a 429 or 503 the best practice is to retry the request, respecting the Retry-After header if given in the response, or using an exponential back-off, if not.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. That's correct, the 200 GB traffic limit is for shared link traffic, not authenticated API traffic.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>API Limits using /2/files/download</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm developing a single-user app (1 access token), via the Python AP I, to share many files (~200K totally approx 1TB) from a Business account.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As such, the plan is to use &lt;A href="https://dropbox-sdk-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/moduledoc.html?highlight=files_list_folder#dropbox.dropbox.Dropbox.files_download_to_file" target="_self"&gt;Dropbox.files_download_to_file&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. Would &lt;STRONG&gt;Rate Limiting&lt;/STRONG&gt; cause issues here, e.g. what if `files_download_to_file` was used to download the entire content of a business account?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/security/banned-links#traffic" target="_self"&gt;Business&lt;/A&gt; account &lt;STRONG&gt;traffic&lt;/STRONG&gt; is limited to 200GB per day, but &lt;A href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41563249/is-there-a-limited-bandwidth-for-the-dropbox-api-javascript?rq=1" target="_self"&gt;apparently&lt;/A&gt; this does not apply to authenticated access, such as in this application.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'd really appreciate any input on these two points.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Many thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi Greg,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Do paid accounts also have limits on api traffic?&lt;BR /&gt;And am I going to receive a warning of reaching the limit before the service stops (in both free and paid)?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/774473"&gt;@Nouredin&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;The general&amp;nbsp;Dropbox API rate limiting system applies to all account types, including both free and paid. If you hit the limit, the API call(s) will fail with a 429 or 503 as described earlier. There isn't a&amp;nbsp;warning ahead of when you hit the limit, but the period for which you are blocked is generally relatively short and can be found in the Retry-After header.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;(You didn't mention what particular functionality you're using, but note that&amp;nbsp;there is an additional limit specifically for uploading to certain&amp;nbsp;Dropbox Business teams that works differently. You can find information on that &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/reference/data-transport-limit" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>
