I use Pandora during the day and until recently it worked great. For the last few days it won't stream. After most songs I have to either hit play again or reload it. Has anyone else noticed this issue? I've gone through the troubleshooting but nothing has worked. I can't tell if it's a general problem with Pandora that for some reason they haven't fixed or somehow my browser settings got messed up out of the blue.

I tried it on Firefox and Edge. Same issue. Those are the only two my company loads on our computers.

I'm not sure about ad blockers. They restrict a lot of what we can see and change. Like I said, it worked totally fine for years until recently and I'm not aware of any changes to the browser settings. And it still basically works, except that I used to open it up in the morning and never have to touch it all day. Now I have to keep hitting play to get it to restart.

I wonder if your work is rate-limiting Pandora now?

It sounds like it's a work related network change. I just tried my Pandora on two browsers and the App and it worked fine.

Yeah something is going on with the network. I asked an IT guy I know here and he's looking into it.
