Optional
Present only when the requested quality's file was over Max File Size and a lower quality that fits was delivered instead: { requested, delivered, reason: 'size_limit' }, where requested is the format your quality setting picked (e.g. 2160p) and delivered matches quality (e.g. 1080p). Billed as a video download like any delivered file
Download Skipped Reason
downloadSkippedReason
Optional
Why a requested download produced no file: 'download_failed' (the metadata was read but no attempt delivered the file -- YouTube's bot check on every proxy exit tried, or every streaming client refused it as age-restricted, DRM-protected, or region-locked) or 'size_limit_exceeded' (larger than Max File Size, with no lower quality whose reported size fits, or still over it after two mid-download step-downs) or 'insufficient_budget' (the run's spending limit no longer covered a video download event, so the download was not started). Present only on rows where a download was requested but not delivered; absent on successful downloads and in metadata-only mode. These rows are billed at the metadata extraction rate, not the video download rate
