Cache - Persistence?

Yep, looks ok. Wait it out. Likely the frequent reads, purging the cache contributed to this. Bans aren’t usually an issue anymore.

Last question as I was trying to make sure I understand in comparing to plexdrive.

How does --cache-info-age work? Once it expires does it have to pull all the info back again?

My goal was to remove plexdrive, but just leave stuff as is so normal scans normally just hit the plexdrive cache and it handles it via the polling.

That is for information only. When that time passes rclone will query information about the file / directory from the cloud provider. File data isn’t deleted except if the local cache reaches the maximum configured value.

I assume this is from first lookup rather than last lookup? Assuming first and it’ll expire even if accessed frequently?

Yes. I’m working on file data to be different though. Frequent read data (not info) should be be kept in cache

As a note: my log now shows the expiry api hits as requested so thanks for that, though it’s not actually expiring the cache it says it is.

Final question, how do you escape spaces and brackets in curl requests? I get a HTTP 400 error when I try various methods.
