Some organizations have a session timeout enabled for Google Cloud scopes. To avoid session timeout for this integration, you need to mark it as a Trusted App, as well as exempt trusted apps from session timeout. Refer to Google's article for help. 

failing to do so will expire this integration and you will have to reconnect it every time.
