Hi @Foxdarla8
Welcome to community!
It sounds like there may be some battery restriction settings enabled on your Android. I've moved your post over to an existing thread around this experience.
Try these steps to see if they help:
When updating the OS on Android devices, the battery optimization on all apps may be automatically turned back on by default. This can cause performance issues or interfere with playback when the app is backgrounded. Please try the following steps:
Open your device Settings and then Apps.
Scroll to find Pandora or use Search in the upper right hand corner.
Select Battery
Next select Unrestricted.
Due to the numerous models of Android devices, we are unable to provide step by step instructions for every device. Please look up the steps to manage battery optimization for the specific make and model of your device and disable this for the Pandora app if the above does not apply.
