Please update your rclone to the latest version. At the moment you are using some ancient one (30 releases behind...) with who knows what not fixed issues.

Regarding

bin suffix most likely means that at some stage you used filename-encryption off - see docs

Now you changed it to:

Which means that previously saved files can not be read.

In general you can not change encryption parameters and expect that files saved with different ones will work.

If you want to change file names encryption you can do this but you have to migrate all older files to the new scheme. There is plenty of threads on this forum explaining how to do it, e.g.:

In your case where you have things already mixed up I suggest you start from scratch.

just updated still the same
rclone version
rclone v1.65.2

  • os/version: linuxmint 21.3 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.15.0-100-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.21.6
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

I am using a script to upload and it has not changed, neither has the config

There is no magic and rclone does not change things randomly on its own. Millions of users use rclone encryption without any issues.

You are using filename_encryption = obfuscate but you have at least some files saved with filename_encryption = off hence now they can not be read.
