Pausing issue Apple TV - Youtube app

For the past month plus any time I pause a video on youtube it resumes automatically within 5 minutes. Is this a setting or an issue with the app? I've force quit the app and it doesn't work. I don't have this issue on my other apple devices that use youtube. Just the apple tv 4k box.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 18

Same issue here. Apple tvOS 18.1. Deleted YouTube app and re-downloaded. I had my tv screensaver set to 5min, and every paused YouTube video was resuming from pause after 5min. Coincidence? No, because when I reset screensaver to 2min, YouTube would incorrectly resume after 2min. Not sure if this bug is with apple tvOS or the YouTube app. In meantime I’ve set my screensaver to 30min.
