Going through the troubleshoot login process doesn't guarantee logged in state for apps and game.
In fact some apps and games don't like to run on macOS environment that hard that won't accept that workaround.

Some apps will only work with SIP continuously disabled. Those instructions are designed primarily for Genshin and games like it and isn't guaranteed to work on all applications.

Hotstar previously worked fine on Monterey but now it logs you out I think after play cover update it started happening
