    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.

    Worked for me, I closed OneDrive, edited the file, saved it and when I started OneDrive back up it worked!  Honestly something so simple and it's not mentioned.  Most likely to help keep bandwidth traffic under control they don't publicize it openly.  Thanks so much for sharing!

    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.
