User Has Too Many Connections Running at the Same Time to SharePointIf you have multiple connections running at the same time with the service to the same SharePoint instance, this can flood the servers with too many requests, leading to the throttling errors. The system.log should show all the jobs triggering at once if this is the case. If this is happening, you need to stagger your jobs and make sure they have an appropriate interval to finish before the next one starts. This can also be controlled with scheduled tasks using the command line to trigger a sync. User Has Too Many Connections Running to the Same ListYou may have too many multiple syncs that update different parts of the same list. The system.log should show all the jobs triggering at once if this is the case, and the connections will note the same list in the authentication check details. You MUST stagger the syncs so that one can completely finish before the next one starts so that the updates to the same list don't cause confusion. This can also be controlled with scheduled tasks using the command line to trigger a sync. A description of how a connection can be started via command-line can be found in the user documentation, section "Console Mode".
