Can't fetch from googleusercontent

Up until recently, I've been able to fetch images from googleusercontent with overlays using base64.  Now, the page throws back an Error 400

Here's the image I'm trying to display:

https://res.cloudinary.com/glide/image/fetch/w_500,h_500,c_fill/l_fetch:aHR0cHM6Ly9yZXMuY2xvdWRpbmFyeS5jb20vZ2xpZGUvaW1hZ2UvZmV0Y2gvb184MC9odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnN0b3JhZ2UuZ29vZ2xlYXBpcy5jb20lMkZnbGlkZS1wcm9kLmFwcHNwb3QuY29tJTJGdXBsb2Fkcy12MiUyRnZYaHNoUkJZMW9LUHdmQ1NBanN6JTJGcHViJTJGUjZ5VlBXMDNsWlVGeThmSDZqMlMucG5n,c_fill/https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2Fproxy%2FdTjSV525qzJEXhR1Vrz9y1lkNvaaUaHEIL7Puykyd3012nipTAiwyJ4uQUyOaPBc0LivjgN9tu7LP-id

You can see that the fetched image is encoded.  If I try a different image, it works fine:

https://res.cloudinary.com/glide/image/fetch/w_500,h_500,c_fill/l_fetch:aHR0cHM6Ly9yZXMuY2xvdWRpbmFyeS5jb20vZ2xpZGUvaW1hZ2UvZmV0Y2gvb184MC9odHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnN0b3JhZ2UuZ29vZ2xlYXBpcy5jb20lMkZnbGlkZS1wcm9kLmFwcHNwb3QuY29tJTJGdXBsb2Fkcy12MiUyRnZYaHNoUkJZMW9LUHdmQ1NBanN6JTJGcHViJTJGUjZ5VlBXMDNsWlVGeThmSDZqMlMucG5n,c_fill/https://i0.wp.com/images-prod.healthline.com/hlcmsresource/images/AN_images/health-benefits-of-apples-1296x728-feature.jpg?w=1155&h=1528

What's the secret to getting this to work?  Like I said, it was working fine until recently.  Thanks for any help anyone could provide.

  Hi Robert,

  Thanks for sharing these examples.

  In this case, the error from Cloudinary is due to our system not being able to retrieve the image from the remote address due to a 403 error being returned. If I try to access the below URL directly I get a 403 Forbidden as well - https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/dTjSV525qzJEXhR1Vrz9y1lkNvaaUaHEIL7Puykyd3012nipTAiwyJ4uQUyOaPBc0LivjgN9tu7LP-id

  Do you have an example Fetch where the remote URL is accessible and delivers an image but where Cloudinary is throwing an error?
