Bought this only with a visual inspection and a drive on the driveway. Everything looked and sounded good, then i put it on the zwift and went over 300w this sound came up, i also feel it in the foot. As i was saying, the bottom bracket looks fine, and there is no wobble, so i don't know what is the issue or how to repair it. Is this going to be expensive? I paid for the bike 300€.
Help just bought this on Facebook marketplace

It sounds like it’s coming from your cleat but it is really hard to tell from a video.
Most likely a loose bb. Retaining compounds can be used to secure the bearings, depending on how bad it is.
It sounds the retention claw, the back piece that holds your cleats in place, is loose. There should be a spot for a small Allen key to tighten it.
This happened to me about six months ago. I was riding with friends. The most annoying 40 mile ride of my life.
I swear 90% of bikewrench posts I see are are poorly filmed, videos where its not really helpful for diagnosing any issue and the filmer doesn’t know where the sounds they want to record are coming from, or really understand bikes for that matter.
That being said, could be the pedal/ bb/ or your cleat – listen to all three when pedaling slow
