Access blocked: Authorization Error

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

My rclone is connectecd with google drive on a linux server. Over 1 year i had no problems, but since today my token has expired and i tried to reconnect (authorized) but i get the message "access blocked: Authorization Error". "The app reached the limit for new logins", please contact "nickcw@gmail.com" to please him to higher the limit.

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

rclone v1.60.1

  • os/version: ubuntu 18.04 (64 bit)
  • os/kernel: 4.15.0-200-generic (x86_64)
  • os/type: linux
  • os/arch: amd64
  • go/version: go1.19.3
  • go/linking: static
  • go/tags: none

Are you on the latest version of rclone? You can validate by checking the version listed here: Rclone downloads
Yes i am on the latest version.

Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)

Google Drive

The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)

rclone config > new > 18 > and then authentification with > rclone authorize "drive" "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"


#### The rclone config contents with secrets removed.  
Not needed cause i cant create a config cause i cant authorize my drive.

#### A log from the command with the `-vv` flag  
I have no problem with the command, i have an authorization problem. 

Thank you in advance @Animosity022

Hi rodeoric,

Seems to be a variation of this:

Can you help how to use the client id ?
I tried creating client-id but it is not authenticating. It is asking for the code and my code is not working.

Hi Hotstar,

I suggest you update to the latest version of rclone from here:
https://rclone.org/downloads/
and then create you client ID like this
https://rclone.org/drive/#making-your-own-client-id
and then you may have to use it like this
https://rclone.org/remote_setup/

If this doesn't help, then I need more information to understand you situation and suggest create a new topic with all the requested info, that will make it much easier for both of us.
