Dropbox StaffHey there, DB_IG, thanks for posting here!
Do you notice this behavior on a specific browser, and if so which one? If you try to access the page on a different browser, or incognito mode do you notice an improvement?
Do you have a few screenshots, in order for us to have a visual too?
Keep us posted!
Hi, I noticed the behavior on Firefox (private browsing), but it persists even on Chromium (regular). I am attaching a screenshot showcasing the URL, error message, as well as the 16 requests to list_shared_links, of which the last one is a 429 as mentioned in the original post.

Hey DB_IG, sorry to jump in, but just to check, are you seeing the same thing, when you're connected to a different network?
Hi, yes, this happens on other networks too. This is because the Dropbox website itself is generating too many (and unneeded) requests to list_shared_links in a short period of time, hence causing the 429 with an error message of too_many_requests. This is unfortunately not a configuration issue on my side, but a bug that a Dropbox engineer would need to fix for https://www.dropbox.com/share/links.
