What is the problem you are having with rclone?
With any interaction with Mega, e.g. "about", "ls", "touch", there is a very long delay, roughly 90 seconds, before the command executes. Commands execute successfully and without any actionable warnings or errors; there is just a very long wait. This may be expected behavior but I didn't find similar reports when searching and didn't see any performance warnings of this type in the documentation.
There is no noticeable performance-related behavior. That is, there is nothing unusual happening with CPU, memory, storage, or network during these delays. I was running but have shut down the MEGAsync client while diagnosing. Currently, rclone is the only thing attempting to interact with the account. rclone mount is currently not running, so no background traffic from that, either. There has not been significant recent activity, so I shouldn't be running into any sort of throttling.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
Mega
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone about Mega: -vv --mega-debug
But anything, really.

Note, as represented above, rclone was installed through chocolatey, if that is somehow relevant. As shown in the timestamps, the "about" request starts at 19:00:05 and finishes at 19:01:29.
Thanks for any advice rendered!
