Make sure when you authorized the user that you requested profile scope.

Using the Access token returned when your user authorized your application. You can get the users profile information you should make a call to the People.get method

curl \
  'https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people/me?key=[YOUR_API_KEY]' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --compressed

The user info endpoint will give you a little bit of info but not as much as using the userinfo endpoint.

Google does not always return the user claims in the id token, so i would not try to rely upon that.
