Been having the same issue on and off for years, it’s gotten much worse in the past months. Makes it’s pretty much unlistenable.

@Manu_Kan_ @shqippy Our engineers believe this issue should now be resolved - can you please try playing your stations again and let us know if the error message still appears?
Thanks!
@Manu_Kan_ Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?
Does that error pop up on all of your stations or only some of them? If only some, what are the names of those stations?
Also, are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device?
Thanks for working with me on this.
It’s only one station called ALL MUSIC.
I listen on an iPhone 13
the carrier is AT&T
@Manu_Kan_ Thanks for following up.
We've made a small change that should help. Please try again and let me know how it goes.
It didn’t work.
I have reinstalled the app and restarted my phone.
I think it’s gotten worse for me. I get the error message about 20 times before a song plays. This happens after every 1 or 2 songs.
@Manu_Kan_ Thanks for your patience with this.
I've taken another look at your station, and I think the problem here is that you've added an excessive amount of seeds to it (over 2,000). Adding variety to a station doesn't narrow the song pool that Pandora chooses from, nor does it increase your chances of hearing a particular song or artist. Rather, it opens up your station to a lot of variety, which can make for some undesirable matches. I would suggest editing this station to remove those extra seeds. As a general rule, stations seem to work best with no more than 3-4 seeds added.
To edit your stations on a computer, first make sure you're signed into your Pandora account. Then:
You might find that Pandora works best if you create multiple stations with different artists or songs. From there, you can utilize our shuffle feature to hear a variety of musical styles in one listening session. Shuffle plays a one-song set from a random station that you've included in your mix and then moves onto another song (from a different station). This is significantly different from listening to a single Pandora station.
If you need help using or editing your Shuffle, let me know.
Hopefully this helps!
Hi Alyssa, I'm now having this problem on my Prince station, which has 4143 thumbs up & 98 thumbs down. Could you please take a look? Thanks!
