Additional context
Has only begun happening recently and to the best of my knowledge I haven't changed anything about my phone ,I always run a 24/7 VPN and system wide DNS but this hasn't changed in years and the errors have only been happening in the past week, the use of my VPN and DNS also doesn't affect my playback through any browser with the official YouTube website
