Microsoft Authenticator not showing a code for MFA

We've been having an ongoing issue with nearly all users over time reporting that the Microsoft Authenticator app is not providing a two digit code when a service is prompting for it.  

 

The solution has been to go to Entra ID portal, select 'require re-register MFA', have them delete their account in Authenticator, and re-register the device.  

 

Specifically, this is a report I've received from one user: Trying to get into my office acct but it's saying I need a code from my authenticator app.  I have it on my phone but it's not giving me a code.   

 

What is causing this to happen for everyone and what can we do to prevent this?
