PyTube not downloading correct quality audio file

When I first wrote this code it worked fine and would download me the 160kbps OPUS WEBM file for the URL selected but now for some reason will only download lower a quality than asked for and I can't work out why.

My code is;

from pytube import YouTube 
from sys import argv

link = argv[1]
yt = YouTube(link)

print("Title: ", yt.title)

print("Ciew:", yt.views)

print(yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True))

video = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).last()

print(video)

video.download(r'E:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\YTDTEST')

print("DONE")

and the terminal output is

PS E:\Users\XXX\Desktop\PyTube> python pydl2.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaJcBJQi7bY"
Title:  Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain (Official Video), HD (Digitally Remastered and Upscaled)
Ciew: 56547
[<Stream: itag="139" mime_type="audio/mp4" abr="48kbps" acodec="mp4a.40.5" progressive="False" type="audio">, <Stream: itag="140" mime_type="audio/mp4" abr="128kbps" acodec="mp4a.40.2" progressive="False" type="audio">, <Stream: itag="249" mime_type="audio/webm" abr="50kbps" acodec="opus" progressive="False" type="audio">, <Stream: itag="250" mime_type="audio/webm" abr="70kbps" acodec="opus" progressive="False" type="audio">, <Stream: itag="251" mime_type="audio/webm" abr="160kbps" acodec="opus" progressive="False" type="audio">]
<Stream: itag="251" mime_type="audio/webm" abr="160kbps" acodec="opus" progressive="False" type="audio">
DONE

for some reason it just downloads a 64kbps version of the audio even though as we see from the output I believe have used the right code so can't work out whats gone wrong.

With your code you should get the opus 160kbps. If not, you can try to get always the audio with more bitrate.

from pytube import YouTube
yt = YouTube('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaJcBJQi7bY')
yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).order_by('bitrate').desc().first().download()
