Rate limiting when uploading files with rclone
I've received complaints from rclone users that file uploads are progressing really slowly.
Digging into it what I see is this:

Sure thing, we obey Retry-After.
I'll just note that Google Drive specifies the queries per second per user publically which is 1000 queries per 100 seconds and it is very helpful for app developers to know. You see that number in your app console and you can set it to fewer queries per second if you want. Rclone could deliver API hits at 1000/s so having some published guidance is useful here! Maybe you could pass that on to the dev team?
The only Retry-After values I've seen are 15s and 300s, both of which are too long to use as an effective rate limiter - users get annoyed that rclone has crashed and stop it if it waits for 15 seconds or 300 seconds. I'd much rather have a 5s Retry-After more often.
Thanks for all your help
