How to handle pcloud rate limit

[tophee]

@ncw

try setting --low-level-retries 100 say and see what happens.

So far I tried only --low-level-retries=15 because I thought that the backoff time double every retry so that waiting times increase exponentially, but since this apparently is not the case, I'll happily try 100.

My last test today with --tpslimit=0.5 and --low-level-retries=15 failed which somehow leads me to conclude that the rate limit I'm hitting (if any) is not about TPS. I can't imagine that pcloud would have such a harsh limit (I think the download rate was around 70 kbps...). So it makes sense to just count on rclone retrying many times.

It does until it reaches a max of 2 seconds, so 100 will make rclone retry in roughly 3 minutes.
