catch (err) {
    toast.title = "Download Failed";
    toast.style = Toast.Style.Failure;
    const error = err as Error;
    if (error.message.includes("private video")) {
      toast.message = "This video is private and cannot be downloaded.";
    } else if (error.message.includes("429")) {
      toast.message = "You have exceeded your download quota.";
    } else {
      toast.message = "Please try again later. " + error.message;
    }
    return;

i forked the extension and added this bit to learn more about the error and apparently we're getting a 403 status code from the request
