Was this ever resolved? Because this happens with me too. I *never* used to go to Offline mode but lately it goes to Offline mode EVERY time I'm in my car and I can't make it go online.
Hi @Doohickie
Welcome to community!
I created a new post for your since the original message was from a couple of years ago. While it appears to be the same experience, this is related to a different issue.
Based on the information you posted, I believe you may be affected by a recent app date, 2510.1. Our teams are currently investigation, but in the meantime, we've made a chance to allow listeners to install the previous app version - 2509.1.
I recommend trying to uninstall and reinstall the app to return to the previous app version and trying Pandora once again. Please note though, that this will remove offline content and you'll have to download that content once again.
While I haven't been provided a timeline for a fix, please be on the look out for future updates, ans this is likely how this issue will be addressed.
Hope this helps!
