Additional to googlecloudstorage's general rate limiting, it apparently has a
separate limit for updating the same object more than once per second:
googleapi: Error 429: The object rclone-test-
demilaf1fexu/015108so/check_access/path2/modtime_write_test exceeded the rate
limit for object mutation operations (create, update, and delete). Please reduce
your request rate. See https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/gcs429.,
rateLimitExceeded
We were encountering this in the part of the bisync tests where we create an
object, verify that we can edit its modtime, then remove it. We were not
encountering it elsewhere because it only concerns manipulations of the same
object -- not the rate of API calls in general. For the same reason, the standard
pacer is not an effective solution for enforcing this (unless, of course, we
want to slow the entire test down by setting a 1s MinSleep across the board.)
While ideally this would be handled in the backend, this gets around it by
sleeping for 1s in the relevant part of the bisync tests.
