Download Limit

My question here is very simple :
If i dont exceed the daily quota of bandwidth (exemple 400 gb) , the number of times i can make a download is really “unlimited” (via shared link) ?
For a file of 5kb , i ll be able to make 80 millions downloads daily?
Or “unlimited” its just theoretical and there is a real limit , despite not exceeding the quota bandwidth.

And what about the dowload via Api is it really unlmited too (bandwidth and number of daily downloads).

Thank you

You can find information about the limits on shared links in this help center article. This also includes interacting with shared links via the API.

Additionally, the Dropbox API does have a general rate limiting system that applies to all account types, based on the number of calls over time, but we don't have specific rate numbers documented for that, and we cannot increase the limits for any particular app, user, or team. Apps should be written to handle these rate limit responses automatically. Also note that not all responses with a 429 or 503 status code indicate explicit rate limiting, but in any case that you get a response with 429 or 503 status code the best practice is to retry the request, respecting the Retry-After header if given in the response, or using an exponential back-off, if not. I recommend referring to the error documentation and Error Handling Guide for more information.
