MacBook keeps asking for authorization in Books

I have a MacBook Pro 2017. Whenever I open Books, Apple is asking that I authorize my computer, though I've done it multiple times. The message after I authorize is: This computer has already been authorized. It has been reauthorized. This has happened since I upgraded to Big Sur 11.1. HELP!!!!

My mac says there is an authorised computer to my account but doesn't allow me to de-authorise it So i have had this long-standing concern that there is unauthorised access to my MacBook. It looks like there is an admin account to which I am a subsidiary user. In most cases, i am unable to make changes to my account such as de-authorising a user from my iTunes account or even accessing normal information. I am able to click on important Mac hyperlinks on my system but it never allows access. Currently, i am trying to de -authorise my account, it initially said that there were 2 accounts authorised, i am able to de-authorise my immediate account but it does show that there is another one, which i am unable to access to de-authorise. can anyone explain how this is ?

Apple ID Authorized Devices I made a purchase via iBook on my mac, which is an authorized device via my Apple ID. However, when I try to open the book I receive the following message: You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID. To authorize this computer, you must first deauthorize one of the other computers." I then removed 2 authorized devises so that I only have 3 remaining however, I am still receiving the error message. Any idea how to solve?
