I tested it on my phone with BATCH_SIZE=10 and the number of subscriptions did not always increase by exactly 10, indicating that non-YouTube channels do not count towards the throttling. |

Description of the changes in your PR
This PR introduces a delay between every
BATCH_SIZE=50channel extractions while loading the feed, to avoid YouTube rate limits and hopefully solve #11661. The delay varies in rangeDELAY_BETWEEN_BATCHES_MILLIS=(6000..12000)(on average 8s). I also loweredPARALLEL_EXTRACTIONSfrom 6 to 3, as suggested by AudricV. The value ofBATCH_SIZEwas chosen because people reported problems starting from ~100 subscriptions, so 50 should be safe.Before/After Screenshots/Screen Record
