    Hi! Yes, there's a per-day limit which for some reason isn't publicized.

    Go to: C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\Personal\ClientPolicy.ini and change MaxClientMBTransferredPerDay from 537600 to something higher, such as 1537600.

    Thanks, this worked for me too

    YES!  OMG I actually went through and REINSTALLED ONEDRIVE after thinking I hit a terrible bug, having tried to download our entire store onto a new 1tb local NVMe disk.  Turns out this "bug" is a policy ini setting?!?!?! 🤦‍♂️  Glad I found this thread before trying to reinstall AGAIN.

    OneDrive is pretty good in many ways, but then there is stuff like this that makes you go... really?!

    FYI, if you have a Mac, the file can be found under:

    Users/*username*/Library/Application Support/OneDrive/Settings/Personal/ClientPolicy.ini

    To get to the Library Folder, open a new Finder window, in the menu bar, select "Go". Hold down the Option key and "Library" should magically appear.

    and for future - i am the original poster and this is a key fix for me.  I just installed a Windows update and this file reverted to the original parameter.  I just updated it and hope that that works again.

    Open the Run command (Win+R) and type the following in (or navigate to it in Windows Explorer:

    %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\OneDrive\settings\Personal\

    Open ClientPolicy.ini

    Find the MaxClientMBTransferredPerDay variable and change its value from 537600 (525GB) to something higher, like 5376000 (5250GB)

    Restart OneDrive
