Hi @AlyssaPandora, Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing if uninstalling and reinstalling the app has fixed the issue. It’s been less than 24 hours and the issue hasn’t occurred since, but that’s no guarantee it’s fixed. Because it seems to occur randomly, I don’t know how to reproduce the conditions that caused the issue in the first place.

Hey! Just checking in to see if there is a solution to this yet, two years after OP’s initial post. Just happened to me and here I am up at 3am trying to research this because Pandora woke me up in the middle of the night.
What seems like a very, VERY simple workaround to this issue is toggling off Auto-Start in the app’s settings, as it seems like this is possibly triggered by Bluetooth devices connecting/disconnecting/reconnecting in the night. However, this option is not available to me because I have a free account 🙂. I’ve been a devoted Pandora user for over 10 years, but this is really irking me in a way that’s tempting to just delete the app off my phone altogether.
I’d advise Pandora fix this bug/“feature” or enable the Auto-Start toggle for all accounts at this point. Honestly, it’s 2022, why isn’t the Auto-Start toggle available on all accounts anyway? Why are we still Auto-Starting when no other music app does this? And why isn’t the issue in this thread fixed yet?
I suppose I should add the following (not that it seems to matter):
iPhone 12 Pro
AT&T
iOS 15.4.1
Pandora 2204.1
Wi-Fi

@AdamPandora @AlyssaPandora I’m guessing they’re seeing something like this: I can answer because I am up at 3am, since Pandora decided to randomly start playing from my nightstand in the middle of the night. Y’all forgot to enable the Auto-Start toggle for free accounts… Unless this is a purposeful way to get people to pay for a subscription, which isn’t going to happen for a feature so basic it should be enabled by default on ALL accounts. You should also probably mention that before pointing people to a solution they’re not going to find.
