It’s not just you — Spotify has confirmed it’s experiencing problems that have made the app and web player temporarily unusable for some people starting late Sunday morning. “We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!” the Spotify Status account posted on X. Spotify users on social media have reported a variety of issues, from songs repeatedly pausing on them to being locked out of the streaming platform entirely.

The problems spiked a little before 11AM ET, per Downdetector, and users were still encountering issues as of 1PM. At the time of writing, the web player was initially opening intermittently for me before cutting to a “request timeout” screen after a few minutes, but now it just shows “Page not available.” The app, on the other hand, seems to be mostly back online. Meanwhile, the comments section of Downdetector has turned into a full-blown unhinged group chat and I am here for it.
