Is Rclone working with free GDrive accounts?

It’s been a while since I last used Rclone with Google Drive (lately I’ve been using B2 and S3). Now, when I try to use it, I’ve encountered some problems. Has Rclone stopped working on free accounts due to recent Google changes in March / April?

I didn’t think so but are you seeing an error?

Yes, (using a generated key):

Execution:

Seems in some way related to:

Its working okay here.Perhaps something with that account? That thread he just needed his own client ID. The default rclone one is over subscribed.

I’ll create a new “project” and new ID. Let’s see.

Note that a bit of error googleapi: Error 403: User Rate Limit Exceeded. Rate of requests for user exceed configured project quota is normal with google drive - unless you see an ERROR message then rclone retried until it worked.
