Getting Logged Out of Apple Unexpectedly:
Secure your Accounts:
When it comes to Accounts, you should modify the credentials every-so-often, for security purposes. So, what to do...
A. Verify Your Devices:
Verify that your the devices logged in to your account or officially yours, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support
B. Consider Modifying your Credentials:
Having been signed out unexpected, someone may have your credentials. So, by all means, consider modifying them, starting with a new password.

Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
To reset your Apple Account password, you can choose "Forgot Password?" on any sign-in screen and follow the onscreen instructions.
If you have a trusted device, you can use it to change your password directly in Settings. If you don't have a trusted device, you can request account recovery at iforgot.apple.com or by using the Apple Support app on a borrowed device.
If you need more help, contact Apple Support directly.
Good Luck! 👋🏼😉
