Have a premium subscription with less throttled /requestdl API calls

Currently the initial jellyfin scan of a rclone (with custom torbox backend) library generate a lot of calls to /requestdl endpoint, which seems to be throttled when requested more than 20 times per minute or something like that.

Whereas my calls are already “paced” with a 1sec interval, it is not sufficient to avoid 429 HTTP errors. My rclone backend does cache the final CDN URL (meaning it is not requesting indefinitely the same permalink or requestdl endpoint for same file so I’ve already optimized as much as I can).

It would be cool to have “premium API subscription” for power users using API more intensively. I would be willing to pay few more bucks for that.

Alternatively, I would be ok to be able to seek in zip files but in your current zipping implementation does not allow that (HTTP partial content is not accepted).

Maybe with both solution your server load is an issue, I don’t know. But if in any case you can make either partial content work with zip files (or RAR files)
OR
less throttled /requestdl API calls

(needing a better subscription would be understandable), it would be cool.
