Hello,
I'm having the same problem and the way I see it, it is thus impossible to use Rclone with Google Drive configured as a scheduled task because of this. I have it set up on a remote server, so performing interactive re-authorization in a web browser is impossible.
Sadly using a so-called service-account is not an option for me either, because service-accounts can only read/write shared files but not delete them.
I understand this is not Rclone's fault at all, it is just unbelievable how user-unfriendly and frustrating the whole Google Drive experience is. I guess the best solution is to move to a different cloud storage provider.
