Do you have a pi-hole, ad blocker, or other such network wide filter in action on your network?

I've found Comcast/Xfinity has all kinds of odd telemetry end points going on (assuming some is ads, some is for in-product observability) that gets blocked on many DNS blocklists and causes all kinds of weird glitches when using their services.

Might be something to double-check.

Looking at their post history they might do. Posted about a Smart TV blocklist.

I know that when I've noticed anything strange with accessing anything or authenticating I temporarily switch off Pi-Hole to test.

Antagonism is WAI

I was getting weird errors on Hulu from certain shows and figured out it was pi-hole. I have to disable it for 30 seconds, press play and hope it works, then it gets enabled again. Have to do it for the next episode. Not all shows require that though.
