bug description

When I try to download a video off pinterest, I get this error saying "the pinterest module returned an error that i don't recognize" (screenshot attached). Sometimes if I wait a day or two it'll start working again, but it usually only lets me download a few videos before the error returns. The same thing happens on mobile (both iphone and ipad). I use chrome but I've tried on other browsers and it's the same issue.

reproduction steps

  1. open cobalt.tools
  2. paste link to any pinterest post including a video
  3. click download
  4. error appears: "the pinterest module returned an error that i don't recognize"

platform information

chrome, windows 10, dell laptop (unsure which model, though issue persists on different devices)

No response

i can’t help you without a link, we have no logs so i can’t check what link gave you that error unless you give it to me directly. please reply with it or add it to the original issue

Sorry I forgot to mention it first occurred after a spree of downloading one video after another. Sometimes it works for a few videos, but then I just get the same error again.
