Apple TV Goes to Sleep after 15 min

After the last update 16.4.1, Apple TV goes to sleep after 15 minutes. Sleep timer is set to 1 hour and screen saver set to 30 minutes.

Is anyone seeing this issue?

Apple TV Sleeps When It Shouldn't after tvOS 18.3 Update Apple TV 4k (A2169) keeps sleeping after tvOS 18.3 update (22K557). No settings changed. "Sleep After" is set to "Never." Not sure how long idle is before it sleeps. Already attempted to set to something different and return to "Never." Also rebooted several times. CEC is not enabled. Worked fine before update. I have seen similar posts for previous tvOS versions, but none yet for 18.3. Troubling that this might be a recurring issue.

Apple TV turning off immediately after album finishes playing My Apple TV is turning off immediately after album finishes playing. This has never been the case and I've only noticed it in the last week, so I'm suspecting the recent tvOS 18.2 update. This is an Apple TV 4K and my "sleep after" setting is 30 minutes. It seems like it's counting the sleep after time while the app is still playing music. As soon as the app finishes playing, the TV turns off and the Apple TV goes to sleep. Anyone else seeing this issue?

Apple TV 4K going to sleep After the latest update for my Apple TV 4K in July of 2022 every time I pause a show I am watching, whether it be on Netflix, Amazon Prime video, YouTubeTv or Hulu my Apple TV goes to sleep after 10 minutes. It never did this before, what is going on?

Nope. I have the 1st gen ATV4K and although I've got my screensaver turning on in 5 minutes and sleep after 1 hour, it's been showing the HDR/Aerial screensaver for over 20 minutes now.

Actually, I just remembered that I'm on a more recent build than 16.4.1 that I'm not supposed to talk about, so... :-).
