Usually it is only a local label; the actual login fields or issued playlist address are what identify the service account.

Why this happens
Players often let you give a saved account or playlist a friendly name so it is easier to find in the interface. Calling it Living Room or 8K IPTV does not create new credentials or alter the subscription behind it. The account can still require a separate username, password, server selection or full private URL. Confusing the local label with a login field can make a correctly issued account look invalid even though the visible profile name seems right.
Read the field labels in the exact installed player and keep a private record of which information belongs to which field. A generic playlist format can contain display names as well as the underlying media addresses, illustrating why labels and destinations are different information. Do not copy a nickname into a server or username field unless that is explicitly what the account instructions require. Renaming the local entry also does not extend its expiry or add a second simultaneous connection. The change is an organizational preference, not a modification of the service contract.
A useful way to work through it
Distinguish a friendly playlist/profile label from the issued login fields.
Keep server, username and private URL information in their correct fields.
Treat renaming an entry as local organization rather than a renewal or new account.
