Apple Music personalized playlists display placeholder names

My AppleMusic playlists randomly began showing placeholder names for all personalized playlists. For example, instead of showing my Discovery Station, it now shows "FUSE.DiscoveryStation.Name" as pictured below. This error is present on all of my devices (iPhone 14, MacBook Air, iPad Pro 4th gen.) All devices are on the latest software as of 9/30/2026. The functionality of the playlists does not seem to be impacted.

So far I have:


1) Closed and reopened AppleMusic numerous times on each device

2) Restarted devices

3) Updated my profile name in the AppleMusic App


Thank you in advance.

Apple Playlist Issues:

As of this reply, there is an outage of Apple Music. So, wait it out for a few, and see if it then works.
