### Region

United States

### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

I have noticed that various Pluto URLs have randomly broken the "non-stitched" or "ad-free" formats that were able to be used before.

https://pluto.tv/en/on-demand/series/the-honeymooners-lost-episodes/ is the series that I began to notice this issue.

It will just keep repeating these two same lines for each video:

WARNING: [PlutoTV] Failed to download m3u8 information: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
WARNING: [PlutoTV] Unable to find ad-free formats

The resulting videos will have extra items in the video than just the show as a result

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] 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
- [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below
