It worked just fine a few days ago now I can't download anything that is from YouTube Music, and no, they are not age restricted or region locked. Try it yourself.

It could be region locked, or the main instance is banned again

Actually, Youtube Music doesn't allow VPNs to see music there, you might need another instance from this list.

As said by one of cobalt devs in their Discord:

yes, the main instance ips are seen as vpn/being in an “unknown” country
and thus yt music uploads are unavailable

From twitter:

youtube is seemingly blocking vpns from accessing anything youtube music related (even with a premium account)

you don't get a proper explanation, just "this video is not available" if you open the page via main youtube web app

interesting part is missing country next to logo.. pic.twitter.com/q9ZOue5EPn
