Rclone not respecting upload limiter?

[Z_M]

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Rclone is not respecting the upload limiter to onedrive.

What is your rclone version (output from rclone version)

rclone v1.45

• os/arch: linux/amd64
• go version: go1.11.6

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

Debian 10, 64-bit

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

Onedrive

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

rclone copy /mnt/Music onedrive:Music --exclude-from /rclone/exclude --bwlimit 1M --verbose

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

[onedrive]
type = onedrive
token = {"access_token": redacted }
drive_id = redacted
drive_type = personal

rclone uploads just fine, and even using --verbose it looks like it is respecting the bandwidth limiting flag, but according to my router, when that command is running I see ~8-9 megabit/s upload rate from the computer running it. This is a problem because I have a 10Mb upload rate limit on this connection. The internet bogs down for everyone else doing anything, and works just fine when I cancel the transfer.

Sidenote: It's probably not a queuing problem - the router is running OpenWRT 19.07.2 with cake SQM - see openwrt [dot] org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/sqm-details

hello and welcome to the forum,

Options which use SIZE use kByte by default. However, a suffix of b for bytes, k for kBytes, M for MBytes, G for GBytes, T for TBytes and P for PBytes may be used
and
to limit bandwidth usage to 10 MBytes/s use --bwlimit 10M

--bwlimit 1M is 1MB/s which is approx 10Mb/s
and your connection is 10Mb/s.
so in effect, you are not limiting your internet connection.

also, the version of rclone you are running is 18 months old
