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.
paste link to any pinterest post including a video
click download
error appears: "the pinterest module returned an error that i don't recognize"
screenshots
links
platform information
chrome, windows 10, dell laptop (unsure which model, though issue persists on different devices)

No response

Ah sorry! I got the issue with this board

seems to work fine for me, are you sure this is the right link?
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.
