Android: "Unable to Retrieve Music" Error

[buzzardtooth]

Had to get a new phone because of 5G rollout, now Pandora no longer works on my phone. It just skips from track to track, never playing any, until the following message appears:

Sorry, I can't retrieve music from Pandora.com

I have scoured Community, tried ALL suggestions made to users with similar issues, cleared cache, cleared storage, uninstalled & reinstalled, made sure to allow background running...

Nothing worked. I have used Pandora for over 10 years & have had a paid Premium subscription for about the last 3 & have never had an issue I couldn't resolve.

Will be forced to cancel if this issue can't be resolved very soon. 

mod edit: changed title for clarity

I went through all the troubleshooting on previous threads >1 year old and none of them helped me.

I'm on android, when I start up Pandora it flips through like 10 songs back to back without playing any of them and then gives me this message.

I've confirmed no battery optimization is on. Pandora is stored on my internal storage not an SD card. I've cleared my Pandora data and logged back in and I've restarted my phone multiple times.

Model: moto g power (2021)
Carrier: Verizon
Android version (Settings > About Phone): 11
Pandora version (Go to Profile, then select Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the screen for the version number): 2303.1 (ANDROID-TUNER 23031002)
