Have you set the Last.fm connection in your Tidal account profile?
(If you also have the Last.fm plugin installed in LMS, maybe the Tidal
setting becomes superfluous and even causing double scrobble when
streaming from Tidal using the LMS plugin.)

disclaimer: I don't use Last.fm myself but I am frequently streaming
Tidal through my LMS.
