Cannot view STARRED PHOTOS in web - Error 429

HELP!!! Starred Photos is not working on the DropBox web site and I really need help!

I have literally YEARS of work in uploading all of my family's photos and STARRING the ones I want to use for Shutterfly or other projects.

But this year, I see that I cannot get the STARRED photos to load for a YEAR (or even a MONTH) to download them accurately - the photos appear and then disappear from the website.

My husband opened up the "Inspector view" and took screenshots that show that there are hundreds of 429 requests to /starred/get_status -- so it seems like the website is just broken.

PLEASE HELP WE'VE SUBSCRIBED FOR YEARS! And I really need the starred photos from the past few years to make holiday gifts on Shutterfly!
