If I switch from one Apple ID on the App Store to another, will I have to wait 90 days? I want to sign in to the App Store with a different Apple ID but I don’t want to be locked out of the initial one for 90 days. I’ve seen some people say there’s a 90 day cooldown, others not. So how does the cooldown function?
It happens when people try to redownload content or stream music from another account, and doesn't apply to new downloads or just signing in.

See Authorization vs. association - Apple Community for more on the topic. If you do a thing that requires association with an account that isn't already associated on that device, then the device needs to be associated with the active account, which can only happen at least 90 days after the last association. You will have difficulty updating apps from multiple accounts.

redownloading any content or like specific things? I don’t stream music so that’s not a concern, I’m just curious about redownloading what content exactly? Sorry to bother you
All types of content.

So if I sign in with another Apple ID and download an app I’ve never owned before, there will be no cooldown?
Correct.

My final question, does signing out of one Apple ID and into another automatically redownload anything or is that all manual?
It won't unless manually enabled in Settings.

So signing out of one Apple ID and signing into another will NOT automatically redownload anything and I can download an app on the second id with no issues?
How does the 90 day cooldown between switching apple ID work?
