Sync between team drives - hitting rate limits

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Tryiing to sync data between 2 drives and after approx 3-3.5 TB I get rate limit errors and can't do anything until the next day.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.58.0

  • os/version: ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 5.6.0-050600-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.17.8
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none
No 1 minor release back

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

Google Drive

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

 /usr/bin/rclone sync "tv:Media/TV" "saltbox347323tv:Media/tv3" --drive-service-account-file  /opt/sa/vaulted/7.json  -vvvP --transfers=16 --drive-server-side-across-configs

The rclone config contents with secrets removed.

Those are Google daily limits you are you hitting.

Nothing to do but wait.

any adjustments that can be made to avoid the limits?

Switch to Dropbox?

Nope as they are all on the Google side and nothing you can do. More users get more per day but that’s about it.
