Yes. You can set how long Apple TV waits before automatically turning off.

Open Settings on Apple TV.
Go to General > Sleep After and choose an option.

You can also set a one-time sleep timer.

Turn Apple TV on or off - Apple Support

Quickly change settings in Control Center on Apple TV - Apple Support

Thanks for the insight. My settings were at 15 min but the system will often shut down right after playing an album/playlist.

This is happening to me too. All settings under General and Apps > Music look OK… it’s very frustrating.
