I suggest you try:
  1. Turn off use_archiveofourown_gay (they might have different block lists)
  2. Set slow_down_sleep_time higher than the default 4
  3. Download in smaller batches if you do get it working

Failing that, you could try Browser Cache instead. See https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...oblematicSites and https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...erCacheFeature

And, as always, you can still download AO3's version of the epub from the site.
Update:

I removed use_archiveofourown_gay but nothing changed; I set slow_down_sleep_time to 6 but nothing changed; I tried small batches and one at a time, nothing changed.

Randomly, I commented out "always_login:true" and it worked, but only for unlocked fic (natch).

I mean, it's working, sorta. My question is, does this suggest that my user profile is blocked? Obviously not my IP since it worked without logging in. Is this something I should put in a ticket with AO3 for?
