What is the problem you are having with rclone?
First: I would be happy to know whether other pCloud/rclone users see the same issue. So please, if you use pCloud, try to ls any of your files in there and tell us whether it is still working.
Today morning i found that i cannot access my pcloud remote anymore from all my rclone installations (i have `rclone` on linux and `RCX` and `Round Sync` on Android, the commands below are for rclone-cli on linux)
pCloud itself is still working, i can access all i have via the browser (or better, i can see that the crypt remote actually encrypted things :D)
I tried to refresh my `access_token`, delete and newly create my pcloud remote, and to reconnect as seen in the pasted output below. All get to the point where it opens my browser which should ask me to login and give the token to rclone. Instead, i get an empty page saying `Invalid 'client_id'.`, and rclone keeps waiting forever.
I am aware that i am not using the latest rclone version (thats what my distro packs) - however, you can see `client_id=DnONSzyJXpm` in the pasted output below, that is also the url that opened in my browser. And this is also currently used in the master branch of rclone and hasn't changed in 9 years: Blaming rclone/backend/pcloud/pcloud.go at master · rclone/rclone · GitHub
(side-note: i redacted the state parameter in the log output below. No idea if i need to keep it secret, but i'm quite sure it is not relevant)
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
rclone v1.60.1-DEV

- go/version: go1.22.2

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone config reconnect pcloud:
The rclone config contents with secrets removed.
[pcloud]

Use auto config?
* Say Y if not sure
* Say N if you are working on a remote or headless machine
y) Yes (default)
n) No
