Description

I am using a PluralSight free account but able to access courses now due to one-week free access to it.
I downloaded 5 courses for the first day within 9 hours.

Post to that I am facing the above error on downloading of any course in any system using youtube-dl and in the web browser, all course videos are still accessible.

I'm having the same issue, I downloaded a course on the first day but I could only download 1 video from a course on the second day, then I get the same error as yours
