HomePods skipping songs after playing a few seconds

My HomePods are randomly playing 5-30 seconds of a song then skipping to another song. This only happens when a shortcut automation starts an Apple playlist. When I manually select a playlist in Apple Music and cast it to the HomePod, it doesn’t skip. If I ask Siri on the HomePod to play a playlist, it doesn’t skip. Only when an automation triggers a playlist. This has been happening since the update to ios18/homepod 18.
