How do I fix “resource unavailable” error in Apple Music

When trying to play recommended tracks on my iPhone X using my Apple Music subscription I frequently encounter a “resource unavailable“ error. This error only happens when I play music using my phone, the same tracks are accessible using the same subscription from my PC at home.

Intermittent problem playing back music: no permission to access requested resource error When using the Apple Music app for iPhone, especially when on a cellular network but sometimes also on wifi, I have problems playing any given song. The problems are: app doesn't start playing song when selected app starts to play song and fades out or stops in a few seconds app presents error "You do not have permission to access the requested resource." The problem persists after closing and re-opening the app several times. Other songs will typically play back after this happens, but the song where the error starts is stuck in that state for a while. The songs are almost always through iTunes Match. Any suggestions for how to fix this, or a fix from Apple since it does seem to be an issue on the server side, would be appreciated. Thank you.

iPhone Music: When click song to play, I get 'resource unavailable' on my iPhone, when I sync to my iTunes library on my computer, click song to play, I get ' resource unavailable' for all except a few songs, which work fine. Logged in and out if iTunes/App Store, reset computer and phone, no change. I am using my home network, not trying a cellular connection. Just started after last iPhone update a couple days ago.
