Authentication Failure when uploading to YouTube from Premiere Pro CC 12.1

Question

When I try export a video in Premiere Pro to directly upload to YouTube, I usually receive a 401 authentication failure error, despite my Google account being configured in my adobe.com profile. The export setting themselves are able to correctly retrieve my YouTube channel settings without any interaction on my part, so I know that my current configuration should be correct.

This seems to occur most often when encoding takes more than an hour to complete. This would coincide with a typical expiration of the OAUTH 2.0 authentication token. It would also suggest that Adobe Premiere Pro may not have the logic to refresh an expired authentication token when it's ready to upload the encoded video.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and, if any moderators from Adobe stumble on this posting, is there a roadmap to correcting this issue?

True, but it turns my export into a multi-step process. It works, but it's not ideal.

If my assumption is correct about Adobe Premiere Pro not refreshing the OAUTH 2.0 token when it's ready to upload, then I fear this is a programming issue, and can only be resolved by Adobe's development team.

No solution but upload manually.
