Google has been migrating phones to only store Location History data locally on the phone. Once an account has been transitioned, you can no longer export the data using Google Takeout since it is no longer on Google servers.

How can I export my Location History data after my account as been transitioned?

Go to the settings app, then Location->Location Services->Time Line->Export Timeline Data and pick a folder and filename to export to. Wait a little while and then go check the folder and a new JSON file with your complete location history should be there.
