iTunes Music Store MacOS Desktop App Artist/Album/Song Search/Preview Limit?

I have tried the same on the legacy Itunes Music (MacOS-desktop) legacy app (running High Sierra 10.13.6, iTunes 12.8.3.1) and on the latest Music MacOS app (running VenturaHD and Music apps latest versions). In both cases, after opening the app, I was able to search for artists/albums and preview songs for about 10 minutes. Maybe I previewed 10-12 songs. Then, all of a sudden, the search window locked. Meaning, I could type my searches but upon pressing return these searches would not execute. Obviously I verified (in the case of Ventura) I have Itunes Store selected in Settings>General. I also verified my internet connection is working. I also restarted my laptop /relaunched iTunes App.

As proof of the above, if I were to click on any album/song from the iTunes Store Home Page, then I would be able to continue previewing but NOT if I were to conduct a search. Can you shed a light into what is happening? Did Apple set a limit on how much music users can search/preview per day?
