I ran into the same problem.
I don't normally download stuff or apps or use a download manager, but i had problems with the premium player, so i tried downloading a video with firefox but it failed partways.
I have used my api key for premium podcasts on pocket casts, but the api page doesn't show any problems.

I am also running into the same "Based on your subscription level, this content is unavailable" problem using IDM to download on Chrome. Tried logging out/in and it didn't fix it. FWIW, I can watch content fine on the site, but i'd like to be able to download videos since my internet isn't always good, and I sometimes watch videos on my TV and have no way atm to stream.

Hey me too, for a minute there I thought my subscription had ended, but it seems a lot of us are having this issue. FWIW this week I downloaded three videos but also I assume that those didn't exceeded the download limit (the size of them combined must be a little over 3GB) As a fellow developer I know that when things break due to small changes and support starts getting tons of the same error reports it can be a bit stressful (or maybe that's just me) so I just hope it gets fixed!

QLCrew.com guy here!

This is happening for me too. Cannot download anything. Tried on two different PCs in two separate locations.

Example URL:

https://static-giantbombvideo.cbsistatic.com/vr/2019/11/06/vf_deathstranding_impressions_10142019_kjbgasdf_1800.mp4?api_key=....removed...

Result:

HTTP 403, Based on your subscription level, this content is unavailable

I checked recent content and UPF from 2014. Nothing works. Same thing applies to Progressive mode in the video player.

Please help @rorie, @wcarle

@szlifier: Will believes he has a workaround for this issue and hopefully he'll be pushing something out soon. Sorry for all the trouble! I cleared your download limit in the meantime .

@rorie@wcarle did a change get pushed out today?

My video feeds are now empty except for any videos I had previously downloaded. I tried to re-subscribe to both the HD and SD feeds from giantbomb.com/feeds with and without my "username:password@" and the problem is on all of them.

I am using the Apple Podcasts app if that helps.

The error, which had disappeared earlier in the week, has now returned again - Downcast on iOS, every download now errors out again :/

Which error are you seeing? I believe Will removed the download limit entirely so I'm not seeing how the same error could be occurring but I suppose anything is possible. Can you send a screenshot?

@toomuchcraig: This is most likely due to the HTTPS error reported in another thread, which has been filed with an engineer.

I'm also having issues with the premium video RSS feed. Going on about a week or so now.

@rorie - I believe the previous error was fixed, but now I have the HTTPS error instead.

I'm also having this issue, my subscription lapsed, I re-upped for 1 year and now when I try to download a premium video on my Android phone (using chrome browser) I get a white screen and a message that says "Based on your subscription level, this content is unavailable".

That's because you're in a free trial. I think I fixed the issue for you though.
