Cannot download from Youtube

[Bakuthecat]

bug description

Hello. For some reason I'm unable to download any video from YouTube. Any time I try to download one, it gives me an error saying "i can't access this video. it may be restricted on youtube's side. have you pasted the right link?"

I have been pasting the right links as told, but it still gives me that error. What's causing this?

reproduction steps

1. Go to youtube.com
2. Copy any link from the site
3. Go to cobalt.tools
4. Paste link from Youtube
5. See error that says "i can't access this video. it may be restricted on youtube's side. have you pasted the right link?"

been seeing this today and maybe yesterday?

from da network tab:

POST to https://api.cobalt.tools/session (no payload) gives 400 with

{"status":"error","error":{"code":"error.api.auth.not_configured"}}

(maybe this is expected?)

POST to https://api.cobalt.tools/ (e.g. {"url":"blahblah","videoQuality":"720","alwaysProxy":true or absent}) gives 400 with

{"status":"error","error":{"code":"error.api.content.video.unavailable","context":{"service":"youtube"}}}

verified that the video I'm testing with (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXhjLUPyxw8) is available

it does sporadically work, idk what the difference is

/session endpoint has nothing to do with this issue. This is happening because the cookies used by cobalt expired, youtube likely changed something about what its returning, and cobalt is wrongly saying that the video is privated (or other similar issue), instead of saying the cookies expired
