    <description>&lt;P&gt;There isn't a specific period you should use when polling a job status like this, but in general just a few seconds would be reasonable, say 1-3 seconds between calls to check. If you know it's a particularly large job and may take longer, you might want to make that a little longer.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If any particular job fails, the result should come back as 'failed'. Be sure to check the relevant documentation, e.g., for &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-check_job_status" target="_blank"&gt;/2/sharing/check_job_status&lt;/A&gt; or &lt;A href="https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#sharing-check_share_job_status" target="_blank"&gt;/2/sharing/check_share_job_status&lt;/A&gt;, for the full information. Any particular job shouldn't stay 'in_progress' permanently, but if something does seem to be permanently stuck as 'in_progress', let us know so we can investigate.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Check job status: how often and for how long</title>
      <link>https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-API-Support-Feedback/Check-job-status-how-often-and-for-how-long/m-p/685010#M30827</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I understand that some operations can be asynchronous (eg,&amp;nbsp;/2/sharing/share_folder or&amp;nbsp;/2/sharing/remove_folder_member).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;My question is: how often should I check for the job status (/2/sharing/check_job/status) ? And for how long until it can be considered failed?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
