Comment:

 I have observed the same thing on *some* (but not all) mp4 http streams
 hosted on Google Drive.
 ffproble will hammer the server like mad with repeated bogus Range
 requests resulting in 416 until eventually stopping after a minute or two.
 This would not be so bad if it didn't trigger Google Drive max download
 request limit for the file and flagging it *permanently* as not
 downloadable due to reaching max quota allowed (all subsequent access
 result in a 403).
 ffprobe should not be doing these random Range requests, this is bogus and
 unnecessary and has a nasty side effect on Google Drive and other quota
 limiting servers due to the extreme hammering.
