Google drive uploads failing, http 429

The error message says this

I suspect that is some new Google rate limiting kicking in.

I think it is breaking this legitimate use of the API so hopefully they will roll it back soon.

That will mean rclone just uses a single HTTP connection to upload your data which is evading the new check.

Multipart uploads are more reliable as the individual parts can be retried, but it is a decent workaround until Google fixes their problem.
