After a few hours of service issues, Spotify should be working normally again. The Spotify Status account posted on X Sunday afternoon: “Everything is so much better!” Earlier in the day, we confirmed the issue after users reported that the app and web player were not working. Spotify users reported issues on social media ranging from songs being repeatedly paused to being locked out of the streaming platform entirely.
According to Downdetector, the problem spiked shortly before 11 a.m. ET and lasted about two hours. At 12:14 p.m. ET, Spotify Status posted, “We are currently aware of some issues and are reviewing them!” In the meantime, Downdetector’s comments section has turned into a full-fledged, free-for-all group chat. Around 1:15 p.m., we were still having issues with the web player, but all appear to have been resolved now.
Update, September 29, 2024, 2:45 PM ET: Spotify is back online. This story has been updated to include a note from Spotify Status about resolving the issue.
