The Google Sheets add-on uses oAuth to connect to Google and will automatically keep the connection alive. oAuth provides an efficient way of establishing and maintaining a secure connection to Google.
Although unusual, the Google Sheets add-on may present an error because the oAuth connection to Google has dropped. This could be because of a persistent network error between your website and the Google API.
