I'd suspect you've entered your own API keys, and it's those that will cease working as you haven't used them. The addon therefore may stop working until you replace those keys, but it will only be for you and not generally (as anyone who has set up their own keys are obviously using their own keys too).
That said I'd wonder anyway given the date quoted above (19th September 2018)?

Yeah, I did make my own api keys. I'm constantly using this youtube addon though, so shouldn't that make the api key active? I checked my google developer console and that key is listed as being used 0 times.
That date threw me off also. I made the keys in 2016 so it's not even a creation date.

Yes they should be being used, but it sounds to me like perhaps they aren't set up or configured properly and it's using default ones or something?
I'd start by checking that set-up, there are details on that in the first few posts in this thread.

I'm pretty sure I have it configured correctly. I used that guide on the first few pages or at least one that's very similar when I first created it. Besides, wouldn't I be getting errors when the quota was reached if I wasn't using my own keys? I double checked my settings.xml and the keys are correct in there. Also on my google developer dashboard I actually see my api requests on the traffic graph. Yet, on the credentials page when on I click on the key it says "Total usage (last 30 days): 0".
On the youtube addon, I haven't been having any problems watching any videos and I see my subscriptions, watch later, and history just fine.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. I just wonder if there's something I'm missing cause I don't want to lose the ability to watch youtube videos on my kodi machine since I use it very frequently.

Ok, I'm an idiot. I just realized that that email read differently when viewed through html. I was reading it through an old email client and I guess it was displaying some old code that google accidentally left in the source of the email, which explains the weird date. The email I received actually just says they are adjusting my quota for the api key. Oh man, I so sorry for wasting your time. Thanks again for the help tho!

I've been having problem loading videos in the past week. The 'spinning wheel' just keeps on spinning forever, and I have to try loading videos 2 or 3 times before they start to play. Once they play, they play fine with no buffering issues or anything.
In my attempts to fix this I signed out of my account, but it just made it worse because now I can't even sign in again. I get the '2 authentications required" window and then the window with the code to input at "youtube.com/activate". I thought my device is already connected to my google account, but anyway I log to my google account and go to the activation page. I input the code and then allow the 'youtube TV' device and then the page loads saying it's done go back to your device now, only on Kodi the addon is just stuck at the 'input code' window still. After a while it simply fails.
I use my own API keys, through the addon v5.4.5 for the 'media info' display issue.
Kodi v17.4 though OSMC on an RPi3
I require help signing in please.
Also anyone having problems not loading video on first attempt, which was my original problem.
Thank you.
