Pandora Update 11/09/21:
Hi everyone! 👋
Are you still listening? message:
Thanks for writing and sharing your feedback about the timeout policy.
The timeout message comes up when we detect that you have not interacted with the player for a while. This is in place to avoid playing music to empty rooms and helps reduce our streaming costs.
We actively test various approaches to better gauge whether or not we're playing to an empty room.
Since we pay full royalties on every song we play, having a timeout interval enables us to prevent streaming endlessly to unattended devices. Ultimately, it allows us to offer our free service and maintain our current subscription prices.
When you encounter the timeout message, simply click or tap anywhere on the Pandora music player to continue listening.
To limit timeouts you can upgrade to Pandora Plus or Pandora Premium, which allow you to listen for longer periods without a timeout message. To learn more about the benefits of upgrading, visit this page.
