Selecting the two highest rated live matches in the Watch menu fails to connect for spectating

Selecting one of the two live matches with the highest rating (left side) in the Watch menu seems to consistently fail to connect to the match. The following console output is generated:

[GCClient] Send msg 9203 (k_EMsgClientToGCGetActiveMatches), 17 bytes
[GCClient] Recv msg 523 (k_EMsgGCCompressedMsgToClient_Legacy), 28763 bytes
[HLTV Broadcast] 282.32. Requesting sync
[HLTV Broadcast] 282.39. stream http://dist1-ord1.steamcontent.com/tv/41674500/sync (10) failed. Error 404
[HLTV Broadcast] Not retrying sync
[HLTV Broadcast] 282.39. Broadcast Streaming error 404
[HLTV Broadcast] 84247. Stream State Sync -> Stop, fragment 353

This continues until the retry count reaches ten, then the client stops retrying (as shown above). The stream URL reflects the match being connected to, but the connection fails (404 means 'not found'). Navigating to the URL in a browser produces the text {"statusCode":404,"message":"Broadcast has not started yet"}. The client can immediately connect to any other match on the Watch menu.

I am now spectator rate limited due to testing so I can't test further, but I will update with any new information when I can.

EDIT: No longer rate limited, I am now able to connect to any match to spectate.
