The GAS script I used the past two years to populate the 'Comments' column of the sheet (2021, 2022)

function getNumberOfCommentsPerThread() {
  const outputSheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheetByName("Calculation");
  const dataRange = outputSheet.getRange("E2:E");
  const numRows = dataRange.getNumRows();
  const outputArray = [];

  for (let i = 1; i <= numRows; i++) {
    const url = dataRange.getCell(i,1).getValue();
    if (!url) break;
    const response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url + '.json');
    const results = JSON.parse(response);
    outer_loop:
    for (result of results) {
      for (child of result.data.children) {
        const data = child.data;
        // make sure we get the right post
        if (data.subreddit == "yearofdonquixote" && !data.removed_by_category) {
          const redditThread = "https://www.reddit.com" + data.permalink;
          outputArray.push([[data.num_comments]]);
          break outer_loop;
        }
      }
    }
  }

  console.log(outputArray);

  const range = "F2:F" + (outputArray.length + 1);
  outputSheet.getRange(range).setValues(outputArray);

  // set cell with last update date
  const now = new Date();
  outputSheet.getRange("G2").setValue('last update: ' + now.toISOString());
}

2023. Reddit now blocks my Google Apps Script requests so having to get the comments per thread via PRAW too.
