    Hi, 

    Any actions a user id is taking (including those on the backend) count toward the rate limits. I imagine if you are deleting a large folder with lots of children, there is a possibility you are hitting the limit. 

    Thanks,

    Thanks Alex. For the sake of clarity, if I call Delete folder one time, but that folder has 500 subfolders and files, is that going to count as 501 requests against the API Rate Limit in the time it took to execute?

    Correct. At least that is what I gather from speaking to folks internally.
