He's one of those artists who posts a lot of shitposts and memes and also posts a lot of his drawings (because his style is simple) so he has a huge amount of media (like 11k of videos & images), so I thought it wouldn't be a problem and I would just have to be patient, so I used cookies normally how I use it (for some reason just putting the name and password isn't working for me because it's gave the 401 error so I'm using this method) the problem is that after a while downloading several images from it the 401 authentication error occurs and I'll see I've been logged out of my account and the cookie doesn't work anymore, so I logged in again and it worked normally and I used the cookie exporter again, and it worked and I started downloading things again, but then it ends up giving the same error, this is really annoying because basically I only downloaded half of the artist's media

edit: just tried doing a few things and it looks like Twitter probably did something because I created a new account and the username and password method worked again, but after trying to download the artist media again and so managing to download only half it gave me the 401 error again and then I saw that my account was suspended, I hope there is a solution
