      <title>API get_metadata returns 429 text/html</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Recently we've been getting text/html 429 responses from the get_metadata endpoint, when we specify&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;Accept: application/json&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;header.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Response:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;PRE&gt;{:request=&amp;gt;{:url=&amp;gt;"https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/", :endpoint=&amp;gt;"files/get_metadata", :body=&amp;gt;"{\"path\":\"/myfolder\",\"include_deleted\":true}"}, &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;:response=&amp;gt;{:code=&amp;gt;429, :body=&amp;gt;"&amp;lt;!DOCTYPE html&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;html&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;head&amp;gt;&amp;lt;meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\"&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;title&amp;gt;Dropbox - 4xx&amp;lt;/title&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;link href=\"https://cfl.dropboxstatic.com/static/css/error.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"/&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;link rel=\"shortcut icon\" href=\"https://cfl.dropboxstatic.com/static/images/favicon.ico\"/&amp;gt;\n\n&amp;lt;/head&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;body&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;div class=\"figure\"&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;img src=\"https://cfl.dropboxstatic.com/static/images/illustration_catalog/404_error-illo.png\" srcset=\"https://cfl.dropboxstatic.com/static/images/illustration_catalog/404_error-illo@2x.png 2x\" alt=\"Error: 4xx\"/&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;div id=\"errorbox\"&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;div class=\"not-found\"&amp;gt; &amp;lt;h1&amp;gt;Error (4xx)&amp;lt;/h1&amp;gt; We can't find the page you're looking for. &amp;lt;div class=\"not-found--links\"&amp;gt; Here are a few links that may be helpful: &amp;lt;ul&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/home?_tk=fof\"&amp;gt;Home&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/help?_tk=fof\"&amp;gt;Help center&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/login?_tk=fof\"&amp;gt;Sign in&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/register?_tk=fof\"&amp;gt;Get a free account&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/plus?_tk=fof\"&amp;gt;Dropbox Plus&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;li&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=\"https://www.dropbox.com/business?_tk=fof\"&amp;gt;Dropbox Business&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/li&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\n&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\n\n&amp;lt;script&amp;gt;\nmessage = {\"ru\": \"\\u003cdiv class=\\\"not-found\\\"\\u003e \\u003ch1...&lt;/PRE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Is there a reason why we're getting a text/html response instead of a json response?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the report. It looks like we may be using a generic HTML error page in some rate limiting cases. We'll look into it.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We're having the same issue. Suddenly some of our internal applications are crashing due to this. It disrupts our work very seriously. I dont feel me made any abusive calls.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Our apps are set in "development" status and used only by ourselves.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Note that the development/production status of your app wouldn't affect this.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;The problems have arised when checking if a file exists on dropbox. In our SDK:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;$dropbox-&amp;gt;has($file)&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;This calls get_metadata on the API.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We used this to determine if a file existed before uploading or deleting it. We have removed it from our script now and instead added an exception to handle the errors when trying to delete a file already deleted. The script now works, but the rate limit set on this API call is very limiting (and new).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We're having a similar issue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Some requests to different endpoints are returning 429, that's may be normal due to rate limit.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But before, Retry-After header was returned, and we waited that time before retrying another request.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now, Retry-After isn't present and we don't know exactly how long to wait before retrying or continuing the upload.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;To follow up here, the team confirmed that they found and resolved the issue with the excessive 429 responses with HTML bodies as of late Friday. Apologies for the inconvenience.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
