Please update latest yt-dlp

python -m pip install --upgrade requests
python -m pip install --upgrade yt-dlp

I was having the same issue. When enabled the verbose option and checked the yt-dlp errors, it said that the video was age restricted. I solved it by providing cookies from the browser.

Yours might be a different error but I think this solution could work (given that your yt-dlp is up-to-date).

First of all, export the youtube.com cookies from your browser after logging in. Once you get the cookie file, go to spotdl config and change the value of yt_dlp_args to --cookies /path/to/youtube-cookies.txt.
