Command needed to download images from reddit? help plz.

[F1nalZz]

Hi, i just follow the entire guide provided here: https://gdl-org.github.io/docs/configuration.html#extractor-reddit-client-id-user-agent

However i don't think im still able to download images from reddit using gallery-dl anyways, maybe im making a mistake with the command that i must use?. I already have my client id as well as my user agent and refresh token setup up on my config file. Here is the command im using:

gallery-dl "https://www.reddit.com/user/USERNAME/" -d C:\Users\EXAMPLE\PATH --zip --verbose

also this is the error message that i get when i use the command above:

[reddit][warning] API rate limit exceeded
[reddit][info] Register your own OAuth application and use its credentials to prevent this error: https://gdl-org.github.io/docs/configuration.html#extractor-reddit-client-id-user-agent
[reddit][info] Waiting until 05:29:59 (rate limit)

alright turns out i was making the newbie mistake of not adding the " to my config file, so it when from:

"client-id" : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
"user-agent" : Python:< xxxxxxxx >:v1.0 (by /u/< xxxxxxxxxxxxx >),
"refresh-token": xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

to

"client-id" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"user-agent" : "Python:< xxxxxxxxx >:v1.0 (by /u/< xxxxxxxxxxxxxx >)",
"refresh-token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

after running gallery-dl --config-status everything showed up with OK, however when i run:

gallery-dl "https://www.reddit.com/user/USERNAME/" -d C:\Users\EXAMPLE\PATH --zip --verbose

im still getting API rate limited and 99% of the images is supposed to download are lost somehow, so i gonna paste what gallery-dl is telling me:

C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop>gallery-dl "https://www.reddit.com/user/USERNAME/" -d C:\Users\EXAMPLE\PATH --zip --verbose

Alright i don't know what happen at first but gallery-dl was trying to download videos posted from the user i wanted to download his stuff, to which i didn't even knew he had videos so i was freaking out, so after downloading yt-dl using:

python3 -m pip install -U "yt-dlp[default]" as well as using pip install --user pipx followed by pipx inject gallery-dl yt-dlp

And after all that it worked, however i was once again freaking out bcuz the post download count was still to low, but after testing it with other people's post i found out that it does indeed work but not at all (or atleast not how i expected) on the user i wanted to download all his stuff. So i leave you the User's url here just to see if you can download all his stuff, because when you open one of his post you can see images there but it seems like gallery-dl doesn't download those or atleast i don't know how to tell gallery-dl to include those images too.

Make sure the gallery-dl version you are running is actually the latest version (1.30.10):

gallery-dl --version

There have been several changes to the reddit code since 1.30.5 that might make a difference here. For example, with default settings it downloads a lot of images on my end:

$ gallery-dl https://www.reddit.com/user/JamesAmell1997/submitted/
