What is the problem you are having with rclone?
v1.70+ hangs forever on large(ish) copy (1+GB 200+ files), not even --max-duration is honored
rolling back to 1.69.3 fixes the problem without any other change in the configuration
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
