Error "rate_limit/" when calling AddFolderMemberAsync

Hello.
When I try to add a user in share folder like this:

await dbx.Sharing.AddFolderMemberAsync(sharedFolderId, new List<AddMember> {
new AddMember(new Dropbox.Api.Sharing.MemberSelector.Email(emailUser),AccessLevel.Editor.Instance)
});

I get an error "rate_limit/", although I do not much call (6 calls).

what am I doing wrong?
By the way, "Retry-After" I did not find for .net

The specific AddFolderMemberError.RateLimit error is not about overall API call rate limiting, but specifically about the rate at which the user is inviting shared folder members. From the documentation linked above:

"The current user has hit the limit of invites they can send per day. Try again in 24 hours."

Thanks for the answer.
Use of the opportunities IPA business account solve the problem?

My system uses a lot of invitations and delete the user to shared folders in the day.

Different account types may get different rate limits for this, but the documentation doesn't include any specific numbers, so I'm afraid I can't make any guarantees.
