Current notes
- Lossless fallback during peak hours — some 24-bit streams drop to 320 kbps for a few minutes while the connection rebalances. The app reports the actual bitrate during playback.
- Download queue on Android 12 and older — aggressive battery management can pause the queue when the app is backgrounded. Set Spotify to unrestricted until it finishes.
- Catalogue changes — when a label withdraws an album, downloaded copies stop playing immediately. That is licensing, not an outage.
What is not covered here
This page tracks the platform surfaces described in our guides and is refreshed whenever a known issue is confirmed. Account-level problems — billing, a missing subscription, playback on one specific device — need the in-app support flow, because they require access to your account.
