Solve Rclone Error: failed to configure OneDrive: empty token found

How to resolve the "Error: failed to configure OneDrive: empty token found" error when using Rclone to build a custom Microsoft OneDrive API?

To configure the self-built API of Microsoft Onedrive in Rclone, you need to configure config_token ▼

Option config_token.
For this to work, you will need rclone available on a machine that has
a web browser available.

Execute the following on the machine with the web browser (same rclone
version recommended):
rclone authorize "onedrive" "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
Then paste the result.
Enter a value.

After the Rclone of the local computer obtains the token, and then returns to SSH to enter the token, the following error appears ▼

Why does Rclone have "Couldn't decode response - try again" error?

This is because all Rclone versions do not accept tokens larger than 4096.

The problem is that the Rclone that generates the token used to be non-encoded and was always less than 4096.

After Rclone version 1.56, the authorization code starts to be encoded, so the returned encoded token exceeds 4096 characters, so it cannot be pasted into the full token field in SSH.

However, this problem has arisen because the token obtained from Rclone is currently 4022 characters long.
