Our product connects to Box and was in an environment where it wasn't configured to use the events API. This resulted in numerous requests that exceeded the API limits and resulted in numerous 429 Too Many Requests.

We noticed that our auth tokens were expired before the expiration period.  Does Box expire tokens that are generating requests causing the 'Too Many Requests' to be returned after exceeding the daily limt?

Hello, 

We do not expire tokens prior to the expiration period, so I'm not sure what would be causing that without some more information and time to troubleshoot. Are you still getting the too many requests error or just wondering after the fact?
