Watch keeps asking for location permission

Since a few days back the Watcha and iPhone 13 are asking for location permission. I always agree to when using the app. But a few hours later it asks me again!

This is new behaviour.

iPhone 13, iOS 17

Sometime within the last week the same thing started happening to me on my Apple Watch Series 7 and iPhone 15 Pro.

And it seems to be more than just with the watch - a few times when I got into my car with wireless CarPlay, the Maps all said it couldn't get directions because Maps didn't have location permission. (so I had to pull over, find my phone in my bag and enable location AGAIN before continuing)

This has started happening with my Apple Watch Series 7 and iPhone 14 with the Weather app. It’s driving me crazy.
