Sometimes we get rate limited because of the number of YouTube requests that we ping - could you try again with the same URL?

Getting the same problem with three YT URLs, tried five times for each.

the same for me. "some problems while downloading"

Sorry about that - the package that we're using to download YouTube audios is broken: https://github.com/pytube/pytube/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+streamingdata

Looking for an alternative! Does anyone have any recommendations for good Python packages to download YouTube audio data?

I suggest using yt-dlp. It supports a lot more than YouTube and it's much more versatile.

Thanks @ayaanzaveri - have done and the demo is working again 🤗 Thanks again for the heads-up @JUNGU , @emirvmendoza , @David713 . Let me know if the Space goes down - Google are on our tails trying to block all YouTube download packages, it's a game of cat and mouse!
