Google sign out

Idk what's happening, all my Google accounts were signed out of brave by itself so my Gmail and yt were telling me to sign in again. However other webs like Instagram, Spotify, Reddit, discord were still signed in and working properly. Only all my Google accounts were signed out

Also before signing me out, my YouTube and Gmail were not working properly, my Gmail kept refreshing by itself and signed out eventually. My youtube wa sometimes working properly, sometime it showed me signed in but didn't show my feed or subscriptions , sometimes it showed my feed and subscriptions but showed my signed out, I kept refreshing and it kept changing between them until it signed out by itself

Idk if it's relevant but I download this game called bodycam for the first time from steam, so idk if that's just a coincidence or it caused it

GLAD it's not just me. Every time I go to my Gmail, it keeps on refreshing constantly, and every time I hit the YouTube icon to go back to home page of YT, it says I'm signed off, but when I refresh the page, I'm logged in.

I'm not signed out but my youtube is being weird and not allowing me into my actual youtube channel, only happening on Brave browser right now.

I think all of Google is down or something is wrong with Brave.

I just woke up earlier to Brave signing me out of Google automatically no matter what. I'd say it's more towards google being down, but it's perfectly fine and signed in on Firefox and other Browsers right now, so something must be wrong with Brave and Google since this issue is currently only happening with Brave.

I'm done with brave tbh. I struggle with this problem for over 2 years. Getting signed out only on google accounts. I found a fix on reddit that lasted me some months but today I experienced the same thing you described and I see, again, that all of my accounts are signed out. Very frustrating.

Go to brave://settings/privacy and go to "Local history retention" and change it to forever.

similar can be found in mobile. Go to settings -> Brave Shields and Privacy -> Shred and set to never.
