Respectfully I disagree - if you are a non eu citizen and have residency in an EU country then you can reside in that country , BUT , when you leave that country to visit other countries in the EU you are time limited according to your non eu nationality.

I mentioned there are no land borders in the example I quoted previously , consequently no checks as you move between these countries - so no record which likely means you can get away with it.
Just because there is no check taking place does not make it legal !
As I deal with this for family - here is a direct quote from the Dutch immigration authority in response to this exact question. A non EU citizen with a residence permit in an EU country. Rules are same across all EU.
"With your Dutch residence permit you may stay in all Schengen countries up to 90 days in any 180 day period without a visa."
We Brits are about to become non eu citizens - whole new rules will apply unless a miracle happens.

Ian948 you are correct, I was wrong. I know it was a year ago (!) but I have now deleted my original post. Recently I was again told by someone (who seemed to know what they were about) that as a U.K. citizen and a resident in 🇪🇸 I would be able to spend 90 days in France, then 90 days in Germany, etc. Not so. The 90 days - as you say - is a rolling 90 days within any 180 days period but covers ALL Schengen countries. So 90 days maximum all told.
Now that the Withdrawal Agreement is in place - if you are a permanent resident in Spain (resident here 5 years+) you can be away from Spain - maybe back in the U.K. - for five years max without losing your residency. But you would still remain liable as a Spanish tax resident.
