Description
### Environment details
---
- Node.js version: 20.5.0
- npm version: 9.8.0
- `googleapis` version: 126.0.0
### Unexpected behaviour description
---
I'm getting a **401 response** when calling `service.files.create()` for a multipart upload using expired credentials. Same code works for other methods as `drive.files.list()`, also executing `drive.files.list()` before `service.files.create()` makes the second call work as expected (See attached code snippet for details).

### Steps to reproduce
---
1. Setup expired credentials for the example code provided.
2. Run the app without params to see get the 401 response. `node .\index.js`
3. Run the app with --all arguments to get the 200 expected response. `node .\index.js --all`
### Question
---
Shouldn't drive client have the same behavior for all methods?
Setting up `expiry_date` property fix the issue. I'm raising this question because I will expect the same behavior for the other methods, but they work just fine without the mentioned property including `service.files.create()` when used just to create a folder.
Thanks!
