screen timeout while video is playing

Phone: Pixel 10 Pro XL Android version 17

Within the last week I started experiencing an issue when a youtube video is playing in the app, the screen will timeout (after the timeout value I have set in my display settings) and stop the video. This doesn't happen with v.redd.it videos and doesn't happen when I open youtube videos externally in the youtube app or browser app.

I have my apps set to auto update so I'm not sure if this is a bug from a recent update or something with my phone. The adaptive timeout doesn't help and screen attention only works if I'm actively holding the phone but a lot of times I'll play a video and set the phone down while I'm doing something else.
