Have you tried running with debug logging enabled? (--log-level debug)

I had this same error yesterday when setting up for the first time. I turned on debug logging (saving stdout to file):

ERROR: [youtube] 3N5kWzVtq_Q: Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community. Learn more

The issue was that YouTube wanted to ensure I wasn't a bot. After loading a cookie, I was able to successfully download videos.

This can also be a sign of throttle, https://ytdl-sub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config_reference/plugins.html#throttle-protection can help
