The current version of Rclone from the Fedora repo is 1.57.0. What isn't clear until you look more closely is that this is a development version. It identifies itself as:
rclone: Version "v1.57.0-DEV"
The upshot is that when connecting to Google Drive the authentication token expires after 7 days and has to be manually refreshed via a web page. This is a PITA for those of us who want to leave an rclone sync or mount daemon running in the background.
I discovered this on asking on the Rclone forum:
https://forum.rclone.org/t/google-drive-requires-manual-refresh-every-7-days...
I've now uninstalled the Fedora version and installed the "official" version from the Rclone site. I'll know if that solved the problem in a week's time.
Unlike most other packages, development versions of Rclone cannot avoid this issue because of the way they are registered by the Google API, so should not be distributed as part of the base system.
