Glad you found the video useful, we enjoy making them. If my memory serves me, at the PPL/IR Europe annual conference this year, Foreflight presented a number of excellent training sessions, this feedback was given and they have passed it back to the development team.
An IAP approach slot that comes to mind is EDAZ Schönhagen, south of Berlin's main airport EDDB. The slot is there not due to capacity of EDAZ, but due to workload of the EDDB approach controller. Apparantely they can only handle 1 approach to EDAZ every 30 minutes. I had an issue once flying there where the EDDB approach controller wanted to "drop me" out of CAS while approaching EDAZ due to some misunderstanding on their side regarding my approach slot. I had to remain assertive, "negative, I have an approach slot and wish to stay IFR and fly my approach". After some grunting they finally approved my approach.
Another really useful video - thanks so much for this down-to-earth series. Does anyone have an 'in' with Foreflight, and could get them to look into adding a 'freeze' facility? This summer I had slots - changing multiple times - going to Spain and back from the UK, and they almost caused a divorce because of the resultant rush...
What happens if a delayed CTOT means that I'll miss my arrival airport slot? Should I get a new airport slot (which may be impossible on a short timescale) and amend the flight plan or just hope that nobody will complain at my destination?

Under these circumstances a new airport slot is necessary.
