You have to wait few hours. I ran the command after waiting more than 3 hours.

Yes. But there is no way to automatically check the quota and pass it with sleep?

I ran into a similar issue. I seems like I had too many playlists to ever successfully copy them to YouTube in a single sitting. To work around this I wrote a little script that splits the playlists.json file generated by spotify-backup.py down into smaller chunks and then copied each of the chunks individually.

If you want to give it a go the script is here: https://gist.github.com/wildstoats/386cbdd0d84471c84f036e60bb35da19.

I was getting this as well and it was duplicating some of my playlists.

A few weeks later my account was permanently banned for Spam, deceptive practices, & scams policies - just wondering if anyone else got this and if they could be related!? I'm not saying this tool is responsible but more curious in case it could be linked. Very disappointing anyway.

I can confirm your account will get flagged by an automated bot and terminated under the severe spam policy. One way to mitigate this would be running the program from terminal using the --track-sleep=3 option, this would allow the program to not trigger YouTube's antispam detection algorithm.

With that said it is now safe to close this issue.

I used the s2yt_copy_all_playlists and encountered this too, and the suggestion here is to wait. However there seems to be a risk for ban too. unless I use --track-sleep=3,

Thanks for this, just to clarify, the command will be "s2yt_copy_all_playlists --track-sleep=3" is that correct?

Also, what if i close the CMD and try again another time. will it automatically recognize the progress I've already made and not re-create the playlists it has already created?

[CY83R-3X71NC710N]

I do not believe the program will recognize the progress you've already made, I believe the program will attempt to recreate all the playlists already created, in pull request #109 and my new fork of the project at #117 [https://github.com/CY83R-3X71NC710N/spotify_to_ytmusic]. The program is updated to append to existing playlists rather than overwrite, however, this will still attempt to add a song and go through every song in the playlist over again. To answer your question about the command, in terminal I run the command spotify2ytmusic copy_all_playlists --track-sleep=3 --algo 0 to achieve the result
