CBS says I have reached my streaming limit

I just signed into CBS, tried to watch live news. It ran for 5 min then went to black, audio only with the message "I have reached my streaming limit" !

How can I have reached my limit when I just signed in?

The problem is only on CBS, yes, I tried removing and resubscribing.

Subscribing? To CBS?

You can watch limited free shows (which seem to be what you've done, only you've reached the limit) without authenticating against a TV provider (cable, satellite). But the CBS app uses authentication, not a subscription.

You can subscribe to CBS content via the Paramount+ app. It's $10/month for the local CBS stream. You use the Paramount+ app to watch, not the CBS app.

Perhaps if you explain how you subscribed to CBS, that would help.
