I am facing some similar problems to retrieve duration. The error do not happens always.

Here is a code with some videos that were generating the error a few hours ago. Now some of them are retrieving the duration properly, but others remain failing:

import sys
from pytubefix import YouTube



list = ['https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvjkb27JNuo', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojYj-kFgwyU', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J0yEnJ4B1o', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n95Cqx5V4rQ', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6ayhSvu9Rk', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSPb2AAl4O0', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTzkmEmUPIc', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0PRQamYAZk', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvjkb27JNuo', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC90fuY-xz0']


for url in list:
    try:
        yt = YouTube(url)
        print(yt.length)
    except:
        error_type, e, error_traceback = sys.exc_info()
        print(f'Failed with Error: {e}')

Output:
