More than one device is trying to play music...

I keep getting this message...”More than one device is trying to play music”, and it stops my music. Thing is, I don’t have Apple Music streaming, I’m listening to my downloaded songs I’ve bought (iTunes). I do have the family plan, but we have different Apple ID’s. I checked with all 4 of them and no one was even listening to music. I reset my password and it’s still happening. It wants me to upgrade and pay... but pay for what?! Upgraded to what?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
