Hello, I was using rclone to use dropbox on our ubuntu servers. Until last week, there was no problem with that.
But since last week we get same error on our all accounts (9 with 3 different teams). There is no complicated connection. We use dropbox api support to use this, We have the api keys. And really simple rclone connection word like below:
rclone mount dropbox1:/***sub team folder name without any special char or spaces*** /drop1 --log-level DEBUG
Unfortunately, we have the same error on all servers and with all accounts.
Apologies for the delay; it appears your thread was only recently moved to this section of the forum.
This error indicates that the app/user is being rate limited. The Dropbox API does have a rate limiting system, and if/when a particular connection might be rate limited depends on a number of factors, which can vary over time. This is something that the app itself is supposed to be written to automatically handle though.
You should contact the developer of this third party app for help with having the app avoid/handle this error. The developer can contact us directly, with the relevant technical details, if they need help with the Dropbox API itself.
