This has required some significant changes to the way uploads are
handled by the API to avoid timeouts, so it's likely to still be

you have useful observations to share:

Thanks Erik - I've some large files to upload and I'll try them with
this. Do you know if there's any chance it will be able to work with
the API in future, for bot-assisted uploads?
This is already possible with API, even though I've never tried: see
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36587#c12 which is about
tests with <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Up!>.
