Limit reached

Got an error message on the Xfinity stream app on my iPhone.   Saysthat Limit Reached:: TVAPP-00249. Devices associated with this household are already playing the maximum number of concurrent video streams.  To stream a program or live tv on this device, you must stop playing on another device?

What does this mean?  I only have one x1 tv box, 1 amazon fire tv, 1 computer, 1 laptop, 1 iPad, and 1 iPhone all connected to Xfinity stream, yet I don't have all of them on all the time.  This only happens when I try to watch the local channels (CBS, ABC, and FOX).   I have at&t fiber as my current internet service provider, and this issue didn't  happen 2-3 months ago when I used Xfinity stream outside of my house.  When will this problem be fixed?

Probably tied into the issue some of us are having with CBS ABC and Fox.

@XfinityMarcos​ is this why my internet goes offline at about 3:00am and comes back online at random times (8:00am to 12:30pm)?

Same issue.  Only 1 device streaming and message Limit Reached TVAPP-00249.   (AI support chat needs some work to be useful in any proper troubleshooting)

- is now November and I am still getting this VERY troublesome message that has me totally confused. I only stream on my iPad.  Should I just REMOVE the finite app from my iPhone?  If I do how will I communicate with xfinity when not at home with my iPad?  Have to my knowledge never received communication from xfinity regarding any “rules” about streaming, either?  Xfinity needs to reach out to its consumers.  AND the communication needs to be clear.t
