+#### Tencent COS Global Acceleration Endpoint
+
+When using the Global Acceleration Endpoint (`cos.accelerate.myqcloud.com`),
+rclone automatically sets `no_check_bucket = true` because this acceleration
+endpoint does not support the `CreateBucket` call which is used for ensuring
+a bucket's existence by rclone. Global Acceleration is a per-bucket feature,
+so you should first create the bucket in one physical region, then enable it
+in the Tencent Cloud console.
