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 -4 and -6 sometimes help, if your IPv4 is banned but your IPv6 is not or vice versa.

    Also try with / without VPN.
