8 months ago It is working exactly as it is supposed to for me > spotdl version 4.2.1(Win). PY version is 3.11.
Edit: You need to change format to m4a in order to get the untouched HQ m4a stream from ytm using the cookie file.
If you specify --bitrate-disable without specifying the format as m4a, it should just give you the default file format which is mp3 at approximately 128kbps.

Lyrics : [Verse 1] / Step forward and meet a new sunrise / A coward is shivering inside / Today, I'll, I'll be a friend of mine / Who swallows suffering with smile / I drew a different reality / With unconditional loyalty / Ego hardly can be piqued / 'Cause I'm selfless / / [Chorus] / Scale armour blaze / Virgin innocence / One being brings life / Another runs for death / Scale armour blaze / Virgin innocence / One being brings life / Another runs for death / / [Verse 2] / No promises I ever give / Don't rely on me and I won't deceive / The beginning or the end, you can't tell / When I wave my fin and shake my tail / I grew in different normality / With unblamable morality / Hooks and nets are there for me / But I'm skittish / / [Chorus] / Scale armour blaze / Virgin innocence / One being brings life / Another runs for death / Scale armour blaze / Virgin innocence / One being brings life / Another runs for death / / [Verse 3] / Neptune's child shivering inside / Drowns in the liquid gold / Cherished his life to the underworld / Meet me flashing when the winter cries / / [Outro] / Pisces swimming through the river / All their life against the stream / Searching for a hook to catch on / And see their sun beam / Then suffocate in painful tortures / On cutting tables of callous men / Under a knife of handsome butchers / Emeralds are ripped away / Emeralds are ripped away / Emeralds are ripped away / Emeralds are ripped away

Uninstall it and then install the latest version and recreate the prompt exactly as mine and try what happens.
