The issue turned out to be a change of Apple ID e-mail address - I had to change the Apple ID password too. The correct password worked on Apple devices but not with icloud.com nor icloud_photos_downloader. I guess the Apple ID e-mail address contains salt for the password so whenever the Apple ID e-mail address is changed, the password eventually has to be changed too.

Using icloudpd, version 1.16.3, Python 3.10.12 I suddenly started getting this same error after successfully downloading a few thousand photos in a first run with the command:
~/.local/bin/icloudpd -u [email protected] -p ****** -d . --folder-structure={:%Y/%m/%d} --delete-after-download
(of course using my real iCloud email address/passwd)
After this successful run ended ok, I checked my iCloud photo library on icloud.com and it said there where still some photos left, so I figured I should just run the script once more in order to fetch the rest of the photos:
~/.local/bin/icloudpd -u [email protected] -p ****** -d . --folder-structure={:%Y/%m/%d} --delete-after-download
But then I got this error:

...and I keep getting it ever since. I did not change anything in between runs, certainly not my Apple ID e-mail address. I double checked that the specified username/password was correct by successfully logging in on icloud.com using the same credentials. No problems accessing my iCloud photo library via web browser or on the iPhone. I have also tried afterwards to change my iCloud password, reset my password etc. but iCloudPD keeps throwing that same error and icloud.com works fine.
I also tried using the boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd (https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd) docker image, but it also fails with the same error when I perform the initialization. Oh, and i have 2FA enabled on my iCloud account.
Any idea of how to solve this problem?

I have the same problem guys. And I tried to make a fresh icloudpd install. even that is not working.
So if we started to have this problem at the same time, I assume there is a change on Apple side.
But I hope it is not a change like disabling in this integration. I had created my own automation for gallery/photos and it was working so smooth for the last two years. Also changed my apple password, and it did not help.. If someone have some news on that, can let us know?
