    Happens all the time with me too, i just suffle my vpn until it works. I see you said you don’t gave a vpn, but maybe if you shuffle one, it’ll let you through.

      I did try a VPN (selfhosted OpenVPN as well as one provided by my university), but those didn’t work. I did try through invidious, and it worked.

    Happens to me regularly (using newpipe/tubular), they’ll let you back in after a few hours

    It happens to me sometimes when I open it without being logged in. I usually close the video, it’s not worth the effort to find it again on the logged in session.
