Re: Suddenly getting "v1_retired" error

It looks like this may be occurring again now when making requests with `grant_type=refresh_token`.

    We're also seeing this {"error": "v1_retired"} response quite regularly.

     

    From a few quick twitter/github issue searches it seems to be affecting quite a few users - would be great to get an update on resolution (and/or indication on https://status.dropbox.com 🙂) if possible.

     

    Thanks!

    Let me add my voice to the chorus. It's been days and the situation is getting worse. Even without syncing, I get the error. I'm using Maestral.

        Chiming in as another Maestral user. This error started popping up infrequently a few weeks ago and it's been happening more and more often, especially over the past couple days. Today alone it's happening about 3-4 times per hour which is beyond frustrating.
        In addition to happening periodically when I'm personally doing nothing whatsoever with Dropbox, it also occurs nearly every time I add something to my synced folder.

    Thanks for letting us know. I'll bring this up with the team. Can you also let me know if you're seeing this on all such calls, or only a portion? If it's not all calls, can you let me know roughly what percent of these calls fail like this for you?

      Only a portion of them. They have been reported by other users of our app, from the number of reports I would estimate about 10% of calls.
