Help configuring a plex server with rclone

Hi - I'm trying to setup an ubuntu [thin] host to run a plex media
server and lean on rclone for storage. I have google workspace/TBs of
storage and am throttling my bandwidth to 7500k/s to stay under the
24hr google limits of 750gb.

My rclone command is:
`rclone mount gdrive: /mnt/gdrive --allow-other --vfs-cache-mode
writes --allow-non-empty --bwlimit 8M --buffer-size 256M --vfs-read-
chunk-size 32M`

Deluge is able to start downloading torrents to the mnt point so I
figure its generally configured properly -- but deluge seems to be
cacheing the data somewhere locally (and i have no idea where) because
the host's local disk keeps filling up after a few minutes, with
deluge then throwing IO errors.

I know Deluge is _starting_ to download to the rclone mnt point and I
know rclone is piping those bits to gdrive because I can see them in
the google drive web UI

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I want rclone to pipe all read/writes
straight to the cloud without taxing my local storage at all
