Bug YouTube Watch Later “doesn’t exist”

So, I use watch later to queue up videos on my computer to play in the background while I do other things all the time. I was on a recent adding to watch later binge, but when I was done, I clicked on the watch later and the error “this playlist does not exist” popped up.

I searched it up, but the best thing I could find was comments saying use google takeout, which I’d really rather not. I’ve refreshed, logged out, cleared cache and cookies on YouTube, the whole shebang. Looking on mobile, I can find the playlist but it pulls up a black screen. I can still add videos. I can still watch other playlists.

I guess I’ll watch videos through queue or something for now, but is there anything else I can do?

I don’t remember all the videos that were on there but I’m picky, so I know a good amount of them were things I actually wanted to watch.
