bug description

When I tried downloading from a youtube link, I received this error:
couldn't get this video because youtube asked the processing instance to prove that it's not a bot. try again in a few seconds, but if it still doesn't work, please report this issue!

I give it minutes before i try again but I get the same issue.
If it matters, the link I used was from YouTube Music specifically. I tried using the equivalent URL from regular youtube, but that didn't work either.
This never happened to me before. I didn't make any changes to my web browser as far as I know.

reproduction steps

  1. go to cobalt.tools
  2. paste this link in the appropriate area
  3. choose either auto or audio option
