So if you've already accepted consent without setting access_type='offline', you need to force the user to consent to your app with offline access by also passing approval_prompt='force'.

self.flow = OAuth2WebServerFlow(
    client_id=self.client_id,
    client_secret=self.client_secret,
    scope=self.SCOPE,
    user_agent=user_agent,
    redirect_uri='urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob',
    access_type='offline', # This is the default
    approval_prompt='force'
)

Then you can remove the force prompt/set it to auto after you get the refresh token.
