My config:

},

Any idea?

gallery_dl-1.26.2

Try updating to the latest version.
1.26.2 is nearly one year old. (807ddde)

I'm sorry, I wrote it wrong. I'm using gallery-dl --version
1.28.0-dev

Could you try using a campaign ID URL like described in #6348 (comment) to avoid the request to https://www.patreon.com/arion ?

Sure thing:

gallery-dl "www.patreon.com/id:450124"
