I hope they post a post-mortem afterwords. Given that the outage seems to be on an infra-level (support domain is far from the app stuff) I take it something really funky has happened.

App and streaming mostly work for me (slower then ususal and search seems broken). Interesting outage.

Not surprised. Spotify crapping out constantly and songs disappearing drove me away from streaming. So in 2023 I stopped paying for streaming services entirely and have gone back to actually buying CDs and ripping them or hitting bandcamp for FLACs etc.

Life is much better. No one can take my shit away, I don't depend on some transient service existing or license or any external competence and I can choose how much I want to pay and when. It just works.

Streaming itself seems to work though, I could just press play on my Sonos system and it just continued with the playback.

Even the status page is down https://support.spotify.com/us/article/ongoing-issues/

The status page being down should be a good indicator of the status

Maybe it's still working due to caching?

I was playing Spotify music till about 20 minutes ago, but I noticed that the last song that was scrobbled to Last.fm was at 14:17 (1.5 hours ago)
