Unable to upload > 200 MB csv file using Python Drive API

Question

I am trying to automate my daily tasks using drive API and I came across an error when I try to upload the larger files (> 300 MB CSV) whereas the following code is working for uploading the smaller files (<100 MB). Added that I am running the snippet in my Debian Linux VM and no issues from my VM end.

from pydrive.auth import GoogleAuth
from pydrive.drive import GoogleDrive
import os



gauth = GoogleAuth()
# Try to load saved client credentials if already done
gauth.LoadCredentialsFile("mycreds.txt")


drive_path = '<drive_id>'

data_to_be_uploaded = "my_big_file.csv"
    
# Declared the variable so that it will be uploaded as per the last date
file1 = drive.CreateFile({'title': my_big_csv_data+'.csv',
                          'parents': [{'id': drive_path}]
                          })
file1.SetContentFile(data_to_be_uploaded)
file1.Upload()

The error as following

There are 100MB limits on some types of files
