Rclone only prune local

I wanted to check if there is a way to only prune local files?
I want to make sure only the last X backups are kept locally (to save disk space) and backups are kept unlimited on the remote server (as I can do storage management there in other ways).

I was surprised just now that the script pruned my remote backups.
Right now I'm struggling because somehow my local disk keeps getting full with backups even though I don't have players on the server. Pause is on, but it looks like the container runs a backup, tries upload, and prunes remotely. I had auth issues (because the token expired) which might have caused that.

The issue does not name files or tests; start by tracing the backup and prune flow that handles local and remote retention. Done means local backups can be limited to the last X copies while remote backups remain unlimited, including when upload authentication fails.
