After some googling it looks like YouTube is doing some heavy restrictions on database IPs, including my Hetzner IP I am hosting Pinchflat on. Seems like I will have to proxy my IP or use a VPN...
Maybe support for a plugin like this would also help: https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-youtube-oauth2
Yeah, YouTube has been going nuclear on shared IPs lately. It's very frustrating.
I've looked into that plugin in the past but last I heard it doesn't actually improve your chance of dodging a rate-limit. Granted, I heard that when the situation was still very fresh so I'll dig back in to see if the maintainer's recommendations have changed.
I'm currently on vacation, but when I get home I'll check if hooking up my Pinchflat instance to my VPN makes any difference. Hoping YouTube doesn't also block that since technically it's a datacenter as well.
Seems like YouTube changed their mind because it randomly downloaded the pending downloads I had.

They didn't. I mistakenly thought they did because I got a notification about new media being downloaded. However, after double-checking, it turns out nothing was actually downloaded. Strange. I'll try using a VPN now.
Putting Pinchflat behind a VPN using Gluetun fixes this problem.
Thank you for continuing to follow up on this! yt-dlp specifically has gotten some bad press lately from that one Nvidia leak so it's good to see there are still workarounds
Describe the bug I have two pending downloads that won't download, not even when you force download them. Logs will be below.
