As mentioned in many other places e.g. #6203 (comment), #6127 (comment) and #5940 (comment) (next time please actually follow the instructions in the template and search through both open and closed issues), age-restricted videos not working is entirely expected as YouTube patched the only age-restriction bypass over a while back and now the only way to watch them is is with an age-verified YouTube account.
