Newpipe sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I think your case was just lucky.
NewPipe stops working whenever Google updates YouTube with a breaking change that NewPipe needs to integrate then, e. g. renaming parameters, changing URLs and the like.
NewPipe has been steadily working for years, with the expected interrupts as they have to play catch up with YouTube. That typically only lasts a few days, sometimes hours, though.
The newest issue is different because YouTube started requiring login more and more often to "prove that you're not a bot".
