reason, a short grant time is not a problem, then keeping the application in

In most cases verification is not actually required. Google [exempts a number of
|
||||
app categories](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/13464323) from mandatory
|
||||
verification, including:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Personal Use apps**: if the app is for your personal use (fewer than 100
|
||||
users), you and your limited number of users can keep using it without
|
||||
verification - you will just need to click through the "unverified app"
|
||||
warning screen during sign-in. Verification is only required if you want to
|
||||
grow your user base beyond 100 users.
|
||||
- **Development/Testing/Staging apps**: apps in development, testing or staging
|
||||
mode are not subject to verification (but are limited to the 100-user cap and
|
||||
the unverified-app warning until verified).
|
||||
|
||||
So for typical personal rclone use you can leave the app unverified, accept the
|
||||
warning screen, and publish it (rather than leaving it in "Testing") to avoid
|
||||
the weekly grant expiry described above.
