This is a known issue if its what we covered last week in your thread.
In that thread, I tested a solution for you & described it in gory detail.

You haven't responded to that appreciable effort on your behalf.
I spent, oh, maybe three or four hours testing solutions for you.
But we didn't hear from you.
Carlos tested the solutions also for you. He invested a lot of time too.
No sense digging deeper until you respond to what we already gave you.
If you think you are having a DIFFERENT issue, then you need to tell us
what you tried from the solution I had provided as it worked for me.
1. First, I got HTTP Error 403
2. Then I made the suggested changes
3. Then the HTTP Error 403 disappeared
Note that I ran into the same whack-a-mole problem on Android NewPipe.
The latest NewPipe solved it too.
Specifically version 0.28.2
As far as I can tell, Google is playing whack-a-mole as Paul described.
The solution, on Windows, is to run the fixes Carlos & I tested for you.
