Using the default (apt) deja-dup with the online accoutns in ubuntu 18.04.
I found out a workaround for this. If you keep the session open manually by 
reading a file over and over you can reset the timer described here: 
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/360

Basically after keeping a session open on only a specific folder, there
is a limit of 100 access things (reads, writes, etc.) and then the
connection stales.

While the backup is running in the background, you have to manually
browse the root of the google drive in nautilus every 5-10 minutes (file
explorer) and reset that counter. You might get some errors like
authentication failed but keep refreshing the root folder till you're
able to browse files again. It finally completed my backup. This looks
so easy to fix in the code tough and not sure why no one picked this up
to fix this earlier.
