YouTube has been locking my account when it detects unusual activity such as using an automatic downloader - such as JDownloader 2 that I typically use (because I can have the channel name and upload date appended to the front o the filename). When I use StreamFab's YouTube downloader I noticed that it can start downloading 4 or more videos at once and then short time later YouTube has temporarily locked the account I'm using (I see all the thumbnails and metadata but when trying to play a video it says "Video Not Available Try Again Later". At the same time I can play videos with other accounts unless I use them in the automatic downloaders and they get locked out also. A workaround with JDownloader 2 is to use an account I don't use anywhere else and only download one video at a time. I looked for such settings in StreamFab and didn't find any. Is it possible to do this?

Can number of simultaneous downloads be reduced?

these probly won't work for streamfab as there's no way to add any yt-dlp commands.
