Reduce your request rate

[Kirkman]

Thanks so much for this library. I'm new to using .mbtiles and S3-style storage, but I think I've managed to get everything running pretty well.

In my case, I have a large .mbtiles file (1gb) generated in QGIS, and I want to send the raster tiles to a DigitalOcean Spaces instance (compatible with S3 buckets). I'm invoking the script like this:

mapbox-tile-copy buildings.mbtiles s3://{MY-BUCKET-NAME}/buildings-2021/{z}/{x}/{y}?timeout=20000

The script seems to be working, but every so often it is halting and reporting the following message:

Reduce your request rate.

I've reached about 175,000 tiles so far, but it's annoying to have to monitor this and re-launch the script every time it happens. Is there a setting I can tweak to avoid this, so that the uploads continue unbroken? Should I take some other approach?
