+This is a limitaton of the library rclone uses for serving S3 and will
+hopefully be fixed at some point.
+
+Multipart server side copies do not work (see
+[#7454](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/7454)). These take a
+very long time and eventually fail. The default threshold for
+multipart server side copies is 5G which is the maximum it can be, so
+files above this side will fail to be server side copied.

+For a current list of `serve s3` bugs see the [serve
+s3](https://github.com/rclone/rclone/labels/serve%20s3) bug category
+on GitHub.
