BT stops when app minimized or screen locked

[k os]

Connecting my S24U to my car to listen to music via Spotify. Has always worked. However, today if I minimize Spotify or lock my screen, it stops playing. I need to keep Spotify on the screen and unlocked if I want to listen to music. I've tried rebooting to no avail. Suggestions?

Are you using a Routine?

No routines around BT. And the only routine regarding Spotify is when I start an exercise activity on my Galaxy watch it opens Spotify. I can't think of any changes I made recently that might impact this.

As an addendum, I went for a walk this morning and was listening to Spotify via Buds 3 Pro and same thing - if I minimized Spotify (to look at texts for example), it stopped playing, if I locked my screen it stopped playing. I had to leave my screen on with Spotify being the active app in order to hear my podcast.
