1. Check traffic and quotas clicking on Enabled APIs & services. If your API was left on a build or Youtube is playing dirty is irrelevant. You will change your API and Youtube Kodi addon will work -at least for a while.
2. Click on Credentials.
3. Click on CREATE CREDENTIALS.
4. Click on API key.
After it's created, click on it, it's suggested to limit it to work only with YouTube Data API v3.
Make sure to save it, it's the one that will replace the old one in your api_keys.json which is in your /.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.youtube/ folder.
You can save api_keys.json somewhere and once you install/update a build, just install Youtube, and replace it with yours to easily sign in.
