I am working on a big project and I want to download more than 2 million video, but after I downloaded around 124K video, I got Message, Your IP is blocked By Youtube
I expected that the YouTube site determine specific number, we should not exceed it. if that right.

Can I know what that number which I should not exceed per day or per week.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

As far as I know YT-DLP doesn't use the official Google/YouTube API so finding a specific limit would be hard. If your IP was blocked around the 124,000 mark then it most likely detected that your IP was "abusing" due to the high amount of requests that were not coming from the official API.

You could take a guess by looking at the API quota limits here:

You could attempt to circumvent this by using proxies.
