Right now the error is pretty self-explanatory, however when the 24hour ban is lifted, the same error appears again after 4 hours of usage.

I am using this beta version rclone v1.55.0-beta.5166.cc5a1e90d because I started to get this error Rclone mount :: Fatal error: failed to mount FUSE fs: kernel FUSE version is too old: 7.14 < 7.17

I am having other problems with this version but this is the most impacting right now

That just means you hit the download quota per your account.

Are you using a personal drive? GSuite? Edu?

G Suite Business

Share files? Other than waiting it out or contacting support to see what the issue is, there isn't much else to offer as that just means you hit a download quota.

Nop, not sharing files.

I heard that's suppose to have a 10TB Download limit each 24 hours correct ?

Unknown as it's not documented anywhere. Only the upload limit is documented.

There's something I could do on the mount command that could handle better this limitation, or download less data ?

Rclone only downloads what you are asking of it and nothing else

You'd want to adjust/fix any programs you have using the mount to limit what they do.

In this case I am using for torrent seeding, I know it makes a heavy usage and stress on the GDrive but I have used it for months, the only problem I get is the downloadQuotaExceeded however probably something changed on GDrive because some weeks ago I could leave my drive up 24/7/365 without errors and nowadays it's very rare that it stays up more than 8 hours

I think Torrent seeding / cloud storage is a bad use case.

You could have crossed a threshold with some limit recently rather than something changing but without knowing the limits they have, it's really a guessing game.

Probably, who knows...

I already did open a support ticket, waiting from Engineering team feedback

I'd be super curious what they say as well as I hate they don't publish/show/give any idea of what the actual issue is.

Still no news from Google, but after 5 hours, error again ...

Here are the stats
