And worst case, AO3 has their own epub download feature you can use.

I tried different combinations with use_archiveofourown_gay:true or with the browser cache feature, but the result was always the same (with a slight different long message error, but always a 403)

That's the reason I asked if someone managed to download locked AO3 fics through FFF in the last few days, and if yes, if they could share their own setting to see if I could replicate that and solve the issue

I tried playing around with my personal ini (taking out always_login + credential, adding the open in browser one), but no matter what I did, I always got a 403 error.
Are you also experiencing this issue?
If yes, and you managed to solve it, can you please share your personal ini setting?

Restricted stories work as expected for me.

How long a period are you testing over? I get occasional 525 errors, but they clear up the next day. I suspect related to repeated requests when they're getting higher traffic.

Might also be worth rebooting your modem in case you got assigned an IP used by a previous bad actor.

I came back from holiday after a couple of weeks, so... since yesterday. Two weeks ago, everything was fine

Initially, I had a 403 error for everything (locked and not locked stories), then I commented always_login:true and my username, and not locked stories could be downloaded again.
For locked stories, instead, no luck so far, no matter which instruction I try to comment or to add: I always get a 403 or a Failed to Login for URL

I'll try rebooting my modem and see how it goes!

It's not just a matter of settings. Cloudflare can and does give different treatment to different people on different networks.

I'm currently able to download 'locked' AO3 stories using FFF's automatic login.
