Unfortunately NewPipe will not help with that. I get this message in a browser and in NewPipe.

Have you tried if yt-dlp works? Cuz if that also doesnt, then maybe they actually temporarily blocked your IP?

I have never gotten this message on yt so cant test it.

Here's the log from yt-dlp:

Are you on a commercial VPN connection?

No, it's when I connect with my ISP at home. If I use Mullvad VPN or if I actually login into YouTube web app, everything works fine.

That is so odd. Can you manually reroll your home networks external IP address? Maybe reconnect your router. I dont know how they would be able to reidentify you otherwise.
