Unable to access MEGA cloud via rclone with my account

I already posted the problem but I didn't solve it. A couple of months ago I had a properly working backup between my Synology NAS and MEGA cloud.

I later realized that without my knowledge - rclone loaded 134000 @eadir hidden directories which represent an index of data (generally images and videos) and indexing data for searches.

The @eadir directories in turn contain between 2 and 4 small files which, multiplied by 134,000, makes a huge number of objects and approximately 16GB of data transferred to the cloud.

When I noticed this enormous amount of useless data uploaded to the cloud, I created a filter to avoid further future uploads, then started the massive deletion of around 400,000 objects on the MEGA cloud.

MEGA - I assume - classified this deletion as an attack or something similar, resulting in a blanket ban on my account combined with rclone. (Unlike MEGAcmd from NAS or MegaSync from PC work perfectly).

As a result I could no longer use rclone on MEGA.

I made a few hundred of the most disparate attempts, but without success. I also looked to some AI for help: Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude and maybe even Copilot, but there was nothing to do: with my paid account and rclone v1.73.2 I have no access.
However, with my other free MEGA accounts I can use rclone from the NAS. This proves that the rclone/myMegaProaccount combination has been banned.

I would add that I "peremptorily" insisted several times with MEGA Pro assistance (for a fee) but in the end, after numerous banal answers, they admitted that they were not able to help me.

I ask for help, if possible. I remain available for any requests, reports, log files, etc.

$ rclone version

I use rclone with my Synology NAS - DSM v7.x.x

can try to run megacmd in webdav mode and have rclone use that.

Thanks for the suggestion, @asdffdsa ,

I'm a bit ignorant about this topic. I used Webdav many years ago. I don't remember how to make it work, but I'll try.
In short, should I use Webdav as a "container" for rclone? Isn't that a complication?
However, I'm not sure if this strategy is possible from DSM (the NAS OS).

megacmd has a webdav mode.
i have written about that in the forum. easy to do. you can search the forum for working examples.
