Video embeds suddenly not embedding anymore #7970

Description

For a few days now, most video links from https://link.issou.best/ and https://ordr.issou.best/watch/ have stopped embedding properly in Discord. These are websites that I operate.

Nothing has changed on my server's end, and based on my web server logs, I can confirm that Discord link retrieval bots (user agents Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Discordbot/2.0; +https://discordapp.com/), and Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0) are still correctly accessing the Open Graph metadata, including downloading thumbnails and video files. Despite that, the embeds simply do not appear inside Discord.

The Discord embed debugger at https://discord.com/developers/embeds shows that Discord correctly parses metadata and can show embeds without any problem, for every link I've tried on it.

These links are being sent thousands of times per day on Discord, mainly from bots present in tens of thousands of servers.

I would appreciate your help in identifying the cause and any steps I can take to assist in resolving it.

Steps to Reproduce

Send a link like https://link.issou.best/uysKZ2 or https://ordr.issou.best/watch/uysKZ2 in any channel where links can embed.
Can also mention https://link.issou.best/jHwF3V https://link.issou.best/YQZ9Kd https://link.issou.best/NnFJDF https://link.issou.best/uUQtu5 if you need more to test

Expected Behavior

These links are embedding and videos can be played inside of Discord.

Current Behavior

The links aren't embedding and users need to click the link to watch the video online.
It has been reported that the same link can embed in a channel but not in another, or it can embed one time but not another.
