Does it also include TOTP 2FA?

I guess in this case they block the account if it has no 2FA set up. If the account has TOTP set up it may be enough to avoid being blocked, even under brute forcing and without phone number.

You should read what you link, it’s the opposite. They are actually paused to not heat the river up.

Beets with the lyrics plugin is good, it can use various sources. It embeds the lyrics in the file directly and prioritizes synced lyrics. It will look for the lyrics every time new music is imported into the library. However, this might mean using beets more extensively when managing your music library. lrcget may be more suited then.
