The problem

After successfully registering with the YouTube Music plugin using my cookie and user ID, playback works as expected for about 30 minutes. However, after this period, I encounter the following errors:

• "Unable to fetch PO Token for web_music client: Missing required Data Sync ID for account"
  This warning appears repeatedly in the logs, suggesting an issue with authentication or session management, what ID should I use? Right now I use my email address

The issue disrupts playback by looping the track playback start without any audio being heard, and requires manual intervention which implies restarting the music assistant service.

How to reproduce

1. Register with the YouTube Music plugin using a valid cookie and user ID.
2. Start playback of a track or queue.
3. Allow playback to continue for approximately 30 minutes.
4. Observe the errors in the logs and the failure of playback.

Additional information

This happens with all the musicassistant versions, stable beta and dev, I'm fighting with it for months now.
I run the music assistant plugin on a raspberry pi 4 8GB RAM, While looping in the playback process with no audio the CPU goes to 100% on one thread, memory is also quite high reachine over 1GB based on the usage I make.
Other providers work just fine.
