Hi guys, I am going crazy with this issue that I have. Both me and my wife have have the same S23 Ultra 512/12 phones and we are using the latest official firmware and our apps are always up-to-date.
On her phone, after approximately 5 minutes of youtube music playback (with the phone locked), the playback will stop - youtube pauses the playback to be more precise without any error message/crash of the app, nothing of the sort.
I have tried every possible idea but it does not help.
What could I have missed? Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks!

I would suggest installing the Nice Catch module from Good Lock as it will let you pin-point what triggers notifications/changes to the system. Also, are there any vehicles or BT headphones around? Wireless Android Auto? If so, they may be 'taking over' and pausing media because of that (happens all the time to me if I get near my car and I forgot to unplug the wireless AA dongle). Finally, have you cleared the app's cache/data on her phone? Is it only when the screen is off? (I'd check the app is set to 'Unrestricted' battery use in the background).

Thanks, I will install this app. This happens even when playing through the phone :(.
I hace cleared cache and data, uninstalled, reinstalled but still happens. It happens after a while, yes, when the screen is off. The battery ise is unrestricted as well.

Go to the YouTube App. Then SETTINGS. Then GENERAL. Go down to "PLAYBACK". CHANGE TO - ALWAYS ON. Make sure your screen is ALWAYS ON DISPLAY - if your still having problems but I think that will fix it.
I listen ti YouTube Music. When u got I new phone in December the App would play 3 songs and then it would stop. I'd have to unlock the phone to get to play. I could not do that while driving.
***I Researched this... Hope it helps..
I had the same problem

Welcome to Android Central! Also, make sure the YouTube Music isn't being killed by the system in the background. Go to Settings>Apps, select YouTube Music, then Battery, and make sure it's either Optimized or Unrestricted (and not Restricted).

If you have any global power-saving modes turned on, turn them off as well.

I have just updated the app this morning and it seems the problem is fixed! I will try now to answer to all of you, thank you so much for all the answers, maybe this will also help someone else in the future.
@Vernelle I don't have that option, I've searched for it, must be on the free version of youtube music?
@B. Diddy yes, it was unrestricted and I don't have other global power-setting modes
@Laura Knotek yes, I have a premium account

There must have been some kind of change in Android (more specifically for Samsung devices) that needed to be fixed because I was having issues like this with Audible. It would stop playing while in the background and especially with the screen off. After a recent update, this issue was fixed.
My wife was having similar issues with Spotify on her S21Ultra and it's now fixed too.

Hello LawolfT. I'm so sorry my answer was not able to help you yesterday. It BOTHERED 🤔🤔 ME that I just had to help you. Who 🤷🏻‍♀️knows even if your phone works now this solution may help someone else. It's also the Educator 👩🏻‍🏫 in me that has to solve a problem.. even though I taught English.
➡️ So the Directions yesterday I realized later after your Reply were only "Available" to me as a "Premium"🏆 member(I ❤️ Emoj's) .
🟪 I did not not always use the premium 🔺YT App. I've only had it for about a 2 yrs. I had Sirius XM but there's just not enough variety. Ahh😏 ...when I started Streaming music at home & in my car I used the Regular🔺 YT App. I like to Decompress from Stress when I drive 🚘 so I play my Music🎶 Really Loud . So when my vol.s level 46 and commercial comes on it ruins the vibe.
🟦 DIRECTIONS to LISTEN CONTINOUSLY on YOUTUBE on YOUR MOBILE PHONE or PC.
🔵 On your 🫵 Phone Mobile (Android or Apple) GO to the Internet Browser you use.(Google Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft, Safari, Etc.)

🔵 SCROLL down the LONG BROWSER MENU until you FIND "DESKTOP MODE". CLICK🖱️IT.
🔵 Then while music/video is still playing EXIT the BROWSER. 🔵 The Musisc/Video WILL turn off... BUT DON'T WORRY.
🟥 Now there are 2 WAYS to ACCESS YOUR MUSIC/VIDEO.

🔵 #2 After EXITING the browser(No sound will play) close out your phone so you'll need to UNLOCK IT.
🔵 #2 Now go back into your phone. You should SEE on your LOCK SCREEN a SMALL SEMITRANSPARENT SCREEN with the MUSIC/VIDEO you were trying listen to 8n your Browser. When you SEE it, PRESS PLAY.
You should get sound.
