Mac OS Apple TV App Requiring Reauthorizaion

Apple TV App 1.6.5.10 (Mac OS 26.5.1) requires reauthorization after purchasing content.

I have been finding that after purchasing new content, i.e. movie or such, that Apple TV will not play the content unless the computer is reauthorized**. All previous content will still play.

Is this some sort of new security protocol? Seems odd. I mean the content was authoritatively (pun intended) purchased with all necessary credentials. … and $$

** the app even goes so far as to alert That the computer is an authorized system, but has now be reauthorized etc
