Are you using a VPN? If not try to update yt-dlp (pip install yt-dlp -U or whatever pip you used to install the plugin).

If you are using a VPN this is a common Google / YouTube issue now and there's not much we can do to avoid this error other than provide a temporary solution to store cookies or use the cookies from your web browser if that will even work.

This is a duplicate issue: https://github.com/mov-cli/mov-cli-youtube/issues/28#issuecomment-2704188858
