Hey there!
This actually appears to be a duplicate of MC-207896.
This error indicates that the remote server could not reach Mojang's authentication servers in a timely manner to verify your player name. Now as our players were able to log in fine this is likely not the case. You might want to try waiting though as you said you had newly bought your copy of Minecraft. The servers may just have not gotten your username ready to verify with yet. If that does not work, your best bets are to check in with Mojang Support.(Hopefully, you have tried logging out and back in)
Reading along I see a lot of new players have this issue, you likely need to check in with Support at this time because Im sure somethings gone awry with the migration prep.
