It seems that files hosted in Flickr are no longer stored as *.flickr.com URLs but rather as *.staticflickr.com URLs. I don’t know when this change happened, but I discovered it when I uploaded there a video file larger than 100 MB in order to later upload it to Wikimedia Commons from there.

According to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_tools/wgCopyUploadsDomains as well as the server-side version of that variable, *.staticflickr.com is in wgCopyUploadsDomains. If you see any error message, please paste it here. Closing as invalid in the meantime.

Trying to upload to the Commons from a *.staticflickr.com URL, I get this full-screen error message:

This looks to be a timeout error. It's not related to allowlisting the domain. It might be worth a bug report though -- not sure.
