Further reporting

Any attempt to open Youtube 429 issue ignoring instructions above will be considered spam with corresponding consequences.

Any issue regarding Youtube HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests not falling within above instructions and opened without providing complete reproducible environment will be considered spam as well.

By complete reproducible environment we imply access to console and browser of the machine that easily reproduces the problem. There must be a clear evidence that everything works from browser from the same network interface and the same set of HTTP headers and cookies while failing from youtube-dl. We are not black magicians and can't fix something that does not reproduce on our side.
