Regarding the case where "list_folder" returns entries exceeding the limit value
In the "/list_folder" API specification, there is the following note regarding the "limit" parameter.
Note: This is an approximate number and there can be slightly more entries returned in some cases.
Please give us specific examples and conditions for "some cases".
Thank you for your support.

Hi ca-01,
The statement in our documentation refers to scenarios where slight variations in the number of returned entries may occur due to how the Dropbox file system works on the back end and technical factors involved in data retrieval.
That said, we don't have specific examples and/or conditions documented to provide of when more entries than the limit may be returned.
