Apple Watch Ultra 2 stops playing music per song when connected to Airpods

I can see that this error has been reported before but I couldn't answer in the thread and this is still an issue with updated watchOS and it drives me nuts.

Apple Watch Ultra 2 stops playing music per song when connected to Airpods

1. I already did all possible combinations of the three playlist options (shuffle play, repeat, and the infinity sign) but none seems to work.
2. I wanted my playlist to continue playing after each song, instead it stops playing once a song ended. I needed to double tap my airpods or manually tap next song for it to continue.
3. I already checked and removed all focus that my interfere.
4. The playlist im using are all locally downloaded to the watch using Apple Music.
