iCloud Drive has hit a very weird bug for me. I've used every Terminal and other solution. It stalls at a certain point—clearly a bad file or something. However, the Finder lacks good tools to pinpoint a fatal file. Does anyone know an Apple engineer I could send information to? It's clearly a combination of macOS and iCloud interaction. I can find other people with a similar problem online, but they typically solved it with one a number of techniques I've tried.

What I’ve tried:
• Delete and move lots of different files
• Log out of macOS account and back in
• Restart
• Disable and re-enable iCloud Drive (a huge pain)
• killall bird
• Delete ~/Library/Application Support/CloudDocs

@glennf "sudo killall -9 bird cloudd" is what I usually have to use to reset iCloud Drive - if that is the cause.

@jann @glennf this is what works for me when files don’t want to upload to iCloud

@johan @glennf A *bit* OT: The biggest irritating thing I've also found is files don't upload when the system is doing something CPU-intensive...and I *hate* that! When using #DropBox, system load doesn't stop DropBox from doing its job! Why should #iCloudDrive limit activity when system is busy! YES, #Apple, I am doing an #FFmpeg encode on my #M1! There's PLENTY of overhead for uploading to the cloud!
