Yes, there's an infinite retry loop when quotas run out. As someone
requested this feature long time ago.

But I'm not sure how mega.nz API behaves, because it's undocumented,
so it may not recover without restarting the upload completely,
which megatools don't do, in case of quota errors.

It may also be that the retry loop hits for other errors too. I don't
know.

It doesn't capture any signals itself. All signals use default handling.
