I've been having this for a fair few days now. I don't have the same issue with NewPipe so have been using that till this gets fixed. It's been reported here #2761

Same issue here. Switching between mobile and wi-fi seems to work sometimes
Been happening to me a lot just now. The debug app had a message recommending to enable "Share Visitor Data" under Advanced Settings, but I haven't tried it.
Could be related to this issue.
I can corroborate that when I turn off my custom DNS it works swimmingly, until YouTube figured out to block my IP again.
I actually don't even know how to use a custom DNS, haha, but it's good that you were at least able to pinpoint the issue!
Aw geez, wish I can help more. But IMO the dev is very aware of this. IIRC when 5.2.4, this current latest version, dropped, I remember seeing in-app popup pointing to that GitHub issue that the dev opened.
I don't use PipePipe, but FreeTube. Since YouTube updated their system to use SABR (I don't even know what exactly that is, I just know it causes issues for us), I get sometimes a reload loop for some videos. In some cases my IP is blocked. Only a VPN helps in those cases. This plagues me / us for weeks and months. I'm surprised you didn't encounter this issue earlier; probably because the developers of the app you are using did a good job.
same here 😔✌️ i rarely get past this and when i do i just do a bunch of random crap
I just tried changing the extraction point to "android vr", that seems to get rid of the counter entirely. Videos just play normally now
