Urgent: All my Google nodes keep asking for “refreshToken” after reconnecting

Questions
1

Hi everyone,

I’m on n8n Cloud and all my Google integrations (Sheets, Drive, Gmail, etc.) keep breaking with this error:

refreshToken is required

I reconnect my Google account, it works for a short while, and then the same error comes back — sometimes within hours,

Details:

  • Platform: n8n Cloud

  • n8n version: latest

  • Connection method: quick “Sign in with Google” in n8n (built-in Google app)

  • Google OAuth app status: its in production if i am connecting via google cloud API

  • Nodes affected: google Drive, google sheet

  • Tried: reconnecting multiple times — problem still comes back

Why this is urgent:
I have live workflows depending on Google connections, and this constant re-authentication is disrupting my automations.

Questions:

  1. Is this a known issue for n8n Cloud right now?

  2. Could the built-in Google app be causing token expiry, and should I create my own OAuth app instead?

  3. How can I get a permanent fix so I don’t lose the refresh token again?

Thanks for any help!
