Is there a way to set configurations for youtube-dl? That will be used by archivebox when it runs save_media on a link?

For example, I would like to change the "--max-filesize=750m".

I also might like to get rid of "--write-subs"

Is there anyway I can manually set the arguments used by archivebox for youtube-dl commands?

You can set arguments to pass by YOUTUBEDL_ARGS.

Refer this github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox@767e32c08c/archivebox/config.py (L131)
