HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests

[jarmery]

I have a number of subscriptions running, and now attempting to download any video through Material results in a download failed error. Console output repeats error:
ERROR: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests (caused by HTTPError()); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

Since many users have had this specific error come about, I've gone ahead and made this wiki page explaining the error and its possible solutions. Let me know if any of them work for you!

Thanks, after waiting a couple days my IP is now unblocked but I'll try adding a cookies.txt if it happens again the future

Hi

I have tried --sleep-interval,,60 & --proxy & cookies.txt.
Cant get it to work.. also tried check interval to 3600.
Tried for a week.
Using docker in unraid.

I got whacked by this recently too. I can't seem to shake the ban.

[Tzahi12345]

Proxy doesn't work sometimes for whatever reason, if you are on Docker can you try the docker-compose method?

[yllekz]

I gave that a shot but the URLs in those variables apparently don't exist. Do I need to replace them with other ones?

[Tzahi12345]

Ah yes I should have mentioned, you do need your own proxy for this (there are free ones available, just found some here)

Closing this issue as it's stale, but refer to #173 and #429 for improvements on this front!
