Google Drive limit write or insert requests per second

[Dual-O (Oli)]

Hello,

I was reading through the google drive best practices and notice that google advices to avoid exceeding 3 requests per second of sustained write or insert requests.

The rate of Drive API write requests is limited—avoid exceeding 3 requests per second of sustained write or insert requests, per account.

As described in 6f71260 and in rclone docs the --tpslimit flag limits all HTTP transactions. So this option isn't optimal to avoid only write transactions. Whats your optinion?

I think it would be a good idea to implement this, because google says "This rate limit can’t be increased."

Could this explain why it is taking forever to copy my Dropbox to GDrive using rclone on MacOS Ventura? How could I verify if there are API requests being exceeded or other HTTP level throttling? I'm not seeing API limits hit in me Google Project for rclone
