Upload via the Youtube via api set to Private (locked)

I have been using the youtube API to upload remotely. But after a while of messing around with the code all the videos that get uploaded gets "Private (locked)" due to Terms and policies. I cant appeal it either due to "Appealing this violation is not available". Just to clarify I have been able to upload before and only recently started getting this error.

Code: youtube-uploader
