Anyone else seeing issues with the resolution lowering to 360p/480p several times per day? I’m running 17.2 on the newest AppleTV and I’m subscribed to YouTube Premium. YouTube is about 50% of my AppleTV usage and I always have it set to stream at the highest quality. I know they periodically lower it, but now it’s happening almost every time I turn my TV off and back on. I’ve checked for app updates and OS updates. Nothing in settings looks obvious. It’s not connection related as it immediately switches the stream to 2160p when I select that without any buffering and continues to run smoothly.

I'm seeing this on Apple TV and non-Apple TV devices for the last week or so. It seems to happen when you resume the app from memory. My guess is there is nothing you can do until Youtube fixes it.
