Youtube subscriptions page now intermittently not blocking items

https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions I have unfortunately not been able to track down the differences, but as far as I have been able to confirm with disabling there is no extension conflict causing this. Simply refreshing the subscriptions page enough times over a long enough period should demonstrate the effect eventually. This might be an a/b test, or something similar? The problem only started in the past day or so that I noticed. I can provide Inspect/DOM tree info if that helps and you tell me what to look for.

I have mine configured to block videos under 45 seconds, and block videos with certain keywords. I've noticed in the last several days or so that none of those settings are being respected at all anymore on my subscriptions page. Maybe it's YouTube that's changed something in their code?

The most obvious candidate would be a change in structure of the Subscriptions code page, so that the extension isn't finding what it's looking for using the previous path. I'm not familiar with the structure enough to say what those changes would be, however.

I block from 1 to 65 seconds, and I also am getting intermittent lack of blocking. A page refresh usually fixes the problem.
