Google Calendars ask to reauthorize after every startup

more options

I have 3 Google calendars added to Thunderbird. After every startup I get a popup with the Google authorization page for every calender asking me to authorize access. I already tried removing all Calendars, cleaning the cache, resetting all calendar/google related settings in the config editor and readding teh calendars.

Is there a way to avoid the reauthorizations after each startup and have Thunderbird access permanently authorized?

There are no add-ons except Owl for Exchange (needed for my work outlook account) and Compact Headers.

Thunderbird is version 128.6.1esr on Ubuntu.

I think I just solved the problem myself.

In Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Saved Passwords I found two oauth entries for the calendars account. It seems that one of them was an older entry from calenders that have been removed some months back. After removing that entry I didn't get any more authorization popups.
