Can't login with google anymore to circumvent 30s download delays
The only reason this used to work was because I found a workaround for an issue with Google Drive's API. Recently, they changed how the API works, and my workaround is no longer possible. My only option now is "verifying" my app, which requires creating a website, Privacy Policy, and paying Google thousands of dollars, or I wait for this bug to be fixed: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/168687448
I know it's inconvenient, but I think the best course of action is to just wait for the issue to be fixed. More stars on the issue will hopefully get it fixed faster. Also, it's possible to set the rate limit delay to zero, and downloads should still work ok for the first 15 to 20 files. If you're downloading fewer than that each time, you shouldn't run into any issues.
I've waited for this issue to be fixed, and at this point I'm implementing my own version of chart downloading that doesn't involve the user logging in to Google. The Google login has been removed from the latest version.
