How to abort subscription download if hitting 403

[aaronmitchellharris]

I've been using throttling successfully for months, but recently I started getting 403 from YouTube again for certain formats that would cause my downloads to be lower resolutions than I want. Is there a config I can set that would stop the download if the highest resolution gets blocked by YouTube like this? Otherwise I end up with a lot of low res videos that need to be redownloaded, and I also have to remove them manually from the json that tracks previously downloaded videos so it will know to try to download them again.

Just added support for this in the latest release 🙂
It is now default behavior, see https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/releases/tag/2025.08.20
