YouTube has been aggressively throttling the default web client. The iOS client bypasses PO-token requirements and gets less aggressive rate limiting from Google's side. - Add --extractor-args youtube:player_client=ios to all yt-dlp calls: fetch_video_metadata, fetch_channel_metadata, search_youtube, fetch_available_subs, download_subs_only, fetch_video_comments, popular fetch flat-playlist crawl, and start_download - Increase _META_MIN_GAP from 5s to 12s between metadata calls - Widen jitter from ±2.5s to ±5s for less predictable request timing Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
