I used limit 1 what can be lower?.. Also I can't undestand how does limit work and what are file's activities? Are those save, update, download, rename and etc?

Yes, by file activity I am referring to any file changes, such as upload, move, delete, etc.

To clarify, do you still get the 504 error when using a limit of 1? That is the lowest possible value for that.

And just for reference, did you try using recursive=false, and if so, did that eliminate the 504 issue?
