409 "name_temporarily_reserved" errors during volume uploads

Using Box Java SDK v10:

During a high volume of uploads (1000+ files), I occasionally receive a 409 (name_temporarily_reserved) error. When verifying the upload, the file that threw the exception DOES exists in the folder and appears to be uploaded successfully. 

It looks like the request is receiving a 429 response but retrying too fast (before the original upload is cleaned up)?  Seems like an Box issue but I’m not sure how to handle this scenario in my code.
