I don't have access to a Google account, so I cannot test this. Consider inspecting the resulting cookies.txt file manually. If that one looks fine then there's a chance that they introduced other mechanisms preventing scraping of media content, e.g. user-agent-based ones or shorter-lived cookies, which would have to be handled by e.g. yt-dlp.
