So it notices the insufficient storage, but still keep going (since hours). It should just hard fail, it doesnt make any sense. Ive found this thread https://forum.rclone.org/t/why-does-a-file-transfer-continue-when-there-is-no-available-storage/13677 where a dev said it should be fixed, but it seems like that is no longer the case.
