--max-transfers not exiting with soft/cautious

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Trying to sync from B2 to pCloud, with a soft cutoff for --max-transfer. It pauses, but never stops. I waited an hour. I'm transferring a Restic repository, so no file is much over 4MB, and any existing transfers should have been finished fairly quickly.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.54.1

Which OS you are using and how many bits (eg Windows 7, 64 bit)

macOS Catalina

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

B2 --> pCloud

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

 rclone -P --stats-one-line --fast-list --delete-after --max-transfer=1000000000B --cutoff-mode=soft --log-level DEBUG sync b2:akrabu-restic pc:Backup/restic-repo

or

 rclone -P --stats-one-line --fast-list --delete-after --max-transfer=1000000000B --cutoff-mode=soft --log-level DEBUG sync b2:akrabu-restic pc:Backup/restic-repo

(hard exits properly)

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[b2]
type = b2
account =
key =
hard_delete = true

[pc]
type = pcloud
token = {"access_token":"xxxxxxxxxx","token_type":"bearer","expiry":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"}

(it pauses here indefinitely with nothing updating, and I have to CTRL+C to exit)

Exactly what I was looking for. You´re a lifesaver, thanks!

Hmm, instead of pressing CTRL-C can you press CTRL-\ and paste the resulting backtrace (it may be quite long!)

If CTRL-\ doesn't work in macOS then you'll need to kill -QUIT the process from a different terminal.
