problem description

I host cobalt instances on my servers. I am getting my Youtube oAuth timed out/rate limited every 15 mins. After that, I have to replace it with another account token ( currently I replace it with the previously used account token ). I'm just asking here to find out if anyone else getting this too? I saw the main cobalt instances were not affected.

Rate Limited Account :

ps: I handle around 3 million user/m traffic

you can use multiple youtube accounts and it'll help you to hit the youtube limits less

if you have several youtube tokens in the cookies file, cobalt will distribute requests between all of them evenly, reducing the probability of each specific one getting rate limited

Yes, just figured it out. Didn't know that the rotation algorithm was there till I checked the code. Thanks anyways, saved my day literally!
