- artificialLimbs 6y agoSame. I ended up rate limiting my connection to 256kbps and it stayed stable.
- tonyarkles 6y agoLast time I tried doing an IMAP backup using... hmmm, some command-line tool (imapsync maybe?), I discovered that Gmail has some kind of rate limiting baked in and starts throwing errors after that. This would, naturally (/s), cause the tool to restart the process. Limiting your connection speed probably caused the backup to go slow enough that you didn't hit the request limit.
- jeffbee 6y agoGmail has an abundance of rate limits and, in general, you cannot expect one account to sustain more than about 1 request per second. You might get more but 1 QPS is easy to remember. https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/quota https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/quota
