Cookies aren't being used when looking up explicit content

I resolved the issue while trying to make a reproducible test!

I was making two different requests to youtube-dl, and the first one wasnt passing in cookies, only the second.

Hello,

Thanks for reporting. The command looks legit.

Unfortunately, I need a reproducible test for helping you, since that is a feature I'm not using.

What if you try to provide cookies as a header? from CLI docs, using --add-header FIELD:VALUE

I am having the same problem.
Nor cookies.txt, nor passing the header works.

Here is a relevant part of my code:

const process = ytdl.raw(
        string,
        {
                o: '-',
                // q: '',
                v: '',
                f: 'bestaudio[ext=webm+acodec=opus+asr=48000]/bestaudio',
                r: '100K',
                addHeader: 'LOGIN_INFO:AFmmF2swRAIgIbuQIwapdUbTUZ3MUJlM05aV0QzRDdxS3QxM2NZ',
        },
                { stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe'] },
        );
process.stderr.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('stderr.txt'));
const stream = process.stdout;

and here is an error from youtube-dl:
