Random AirPlay error from iPhone 14 Max attempted connection of tvOS 16.2 public beta

I am getting a periodic error message appearing on my iPhone 14 Pro Max. It pops up occasionally on the Home or Lock screens, and says:

AirPlay Unable to connect to "Living Room".

Where "Living Room" is presumed to be my 2021 Apple TV 4K. (My HomePod minis are also designated as part of the "Living Room" group.)

When this happens, I am not trying to AirPlay to anything, and the Apple TV 4K is off. The streaming box is connected to a Sony Bravia X90J TV which has AirPlay capabilities; it's also off.

In my iPhone settings (iOS 16.1.2), I have turned off "Automatically AirPlay to TVs", but that has not fixed the problem.

I am running the latest consumer beta of tvOS on the Apple TV 4K, so this may be a bug related to that OS. However, before I report it as such, since it appears on the iPhone, I wanted to check first to see if it's a known iOS issue vs. a problem with 16.2 beta.

Thanks.

Have you been able to solve this? I have the same issue and don't know why.
