What is the problem you are having with rclone?

I want to takeout all my photos from Google Photos and empty it.I have started Rclone copy command for this purpose.
i have all the necessary flags for this method and i have my own Client id.
the only problem i am facing is rclone keeps on going after Rate limit.
i want Rclone to do the Copy job for 30 minutes,abort the copy command,restart the process so that manual intervention would be less.what will be the possible commands for this method?

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.60.0-beta.6434.35349657c

Google Takeout is very slow and lengthy process. With Rclone its very easy to get those photos and periodically check for backup.

Google takeout does this, so are you trying to create a backup of all your photos and delete that google account or are you looking for a continuous backup?

yes, I am looking for continuous backup.
