429 - throttledRequest errors using /createLink endpoint after creating just a few links #1683

Description

Dear OneDrive Team,

as requested in the closing comment (#1436 (comment)) on the previous thread about the topic, I am opening a new issue regarding the problem mentioned in the title.

I am developing an app for teachers which allows them to easily record and share feedback via qr codes. One feature of the app is creating the qr codes with share links to placeholder files in advance, so teachers can print a set of 35 qr codes/links per page, and then, when needed, just stick one on a student's work without having to print out the qr codes one by one. This process works perfectly with any other cloud service my app hyFee supports, but with OneDrive, I run into the limit of the OneDrive API when creating links, getting a 429 throttle response when creating more than 20 share links per hour.

Of course, my users should not have a sub-par experience when using OneDrive as the cloud service, since otherwise, it's really a great service. I particularly love the batch endpoint, allowing file creation in a much faster way than any other service. However, it all falls flat when one cannot share these files then.

So, please reconsider this very low limit on the createLink endpoint.

Steps to reproduce and additional context of the request can be found in the original issue (#1436).

Thank you!
Best regards
Chris
