Isn't this an issue on your webDAV provider?

Seems like one of the errors pCloud users run into. Their WebDAV implementation is not up to specs, nor does rate limiting make sense for valid accounts.

I have Icedrive cloud but I never had any problems so far. I use absolute url with a specific target folder. I will ask my cloud provider,

Thanks.

If they use rate limiting it would be good to know what these limits are. Also WebDAV never had rate limiting in its specs afaik.  
I suspect they just put that on top of WebDAV and thought this was a good idea. Well, WebDAV clients don't really know what to do with this kind of error, so they will basically just fail.

It is a bit strange though that the error happens at the sync target upgrade step. Unless you were mashing the sync button, Joplin would've made maybe 10 requests by that stage, I think.

But a rate limit can also be that only X requests are allowed within y hours and then no more requests are allowed ... or only 1 request every x seconds ...
