I run up against it when using yt-dlp too. I found something about “passing” cookies but that sounded risky and out of my depth.

It’s an IP ban.
Passing cookies isn’t 100% safe, Google has banned accounts for downloading hundreds of videos with yt-dlp.
The flags
-4and-6sometimes help, if your IPv4 is banned but your IPv6 is not or vice versa.Also try with / without VPN.
