Same issue here.  Roku Ultra. Pandora stops after a few songs at the end of a song.  I have to repeat the song and the problems happens again after another few songs.

Yes is happening every offer song

I have two Roku Ultra HD 4K players, two different rooms. Recently both stopped autoplaying on all Pandora chennels I've tried. Usually stops after only one song, occasionally may play two or three songs and then stops. Always finishes the song, but then won't advance to another song. I still have my Roku 3 and switched back to it and it plays Pandora perfectly, as does streaming Pandora from my Kindle. So I'm convinced the issue is with Pandora on the Roku HD 4K. In my case, this problem started about a week ago, likely due to an update from either Roku or Pandora that makes Pandora incompatible with Roku HD 4K. Tried updating the Roku HD 4K software on both of my devices but they say they're current. Deleted and reinstalled Pandora on the Roku HD 4K, didn't make a difference.

I saw mention of a Pandora beta channel, so they must be aware of it.

Come to my house. It will reproduce regularly.

They do have a pretty long thread about it. Pandora and Roku are aware of the problem and apparently working on it, but it sounds like they haven't been able to reproduce it yet and are still asking people to report this problem. Here's the issue over there:

Same thing here. Really annoying and it’s only on Roku, not Sonos or IPad. Tried everything. Unplugging the Roku. Removed and reinstalled the Pandora app. Still happens. Ugh

Just yesterday, I noticed the same problem playing Pandora via an Amazon Echo.

I have experiencing the same problem, and it is getting worse.  Songs are pausing at the end more often, and now songs are pausing in the middle of playing and then restart.  The same things happen if I play Sirius through Roku.  I have contacted Pandora directly and provided additional information for them to provide to their engineers.  I have not heard back from them, and my Pandora account is non usable, at $10 per month.

It looks like this issue was caused by a "feature" of Roku OS 9.4. That feature has been disabled for the Pandora channel as of 12/2/2020 and my 4660X is now able to play for hours without any problems.

Thanks for the update.  Unfortunately when I just tried to play Pandora, songs are cutting in and out.  I think this is also a Roku issue because it does the same thing with Sirius and Spotify.  Interesting, we have no problems with other apps on Roku, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.
