That's the DMCA for you unfortunately! Most platforms like YT have a 3-strikes-your-out policy as a result of the DMCA's "repeat infringers" requirement.

If you send a DMCA counter notification in response to a takedown, the strike will be removed (possibly allowing some delay for the counterparty to show intent to file a lawsuit).

However you've already lost almost all revenue for a video with no compensation from YT or the false claimant. It's specifically against content creators and does nothing to prevent copyright infringement. It does nothing but prove copyright infringement isn't a problem that can be solved in the courts or through the legal system. Most people do not believe the courts are fair, the law is fair, or that compensation is equitable for the product. Companies that solve that problem don't tend to have that problem. Don't believe me? Try looking up how easy it is to get Netflix content. It's not nearly as widely available on illicit sources as content that's more heavily locked down.
