What is the problem you are having with rclone?
Current issue is with dropbox remote I always keep getting the rate limit issue with various different configurations.
2023/06/30 23:29:45 NOTICE: too_many_requests/.: Too many requests or write operations. Trying again in 300 seconds.
I have tested with tpslimit 12 tpsburst 12, tpslimit 12 tpsburt 0, tpslimit 5 tpsburst 0 and now recently with 1.63 `tpslimit 5 tpsburst 0 pacer 100ms'
What happens is usually the mount folder becomes unresponsive and I am unable to ls the directory.
Now what I don't understand is when I run rclone lsd remote: I am still able to list directories. I tried catting a file with rclone and it does work.
If I decide to restart rclone then it does work so I am unsure why the limit triggers but I am still able to continue with using the commands.
I removed caching just to make sure everything runs fine without cache. I can implement cache later.
Now I do have two mounts one for plex and the rest for services like sonarr, radarr, etc. On the plex mount this rate limiting issue is never hit and I don't even have a tpslimit there. Now the difference between them is I would think these services are heavier on the scanning side. Now I don't mind it being slow as long as I can stay within t he api limit but it seems like whatever I try I still hit the same issues.
So now I am wondering are these flags not being respected for all api requests that rclone is sending or do I have something wrong with the way I am using rclone?
To note these mounts are read only and no upload happens there. And each mount has its seperate app so client_id and secret is not the same
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone 1.63
also tested on 1.60 and 1.59 but without the new pacer flag
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Dropbox
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
mount --config=/config/rclone/rclone.conf --dropbox-batch-mode off --fast-list --dropbox-pacer-min-sleep 100ms --tpslimit 5 --tpslimit-burst 0 --allow-non-empty --log-level=ERROR --log-level=INFO --log-level=NOTICE --log-file=/config/rclone/rclone.log --allow-other cryptd1: ${DROPBOX}
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
