EDIT

After reinstalling on both my pc and phone I am not experiencing this issue anymore.

Issue

When I make a request to https://api.spotify.com/v1/me/player/currently-playing while listening on my pc it keeps returning the same song with progress -40626 and timestamp 1754746047904(which 2 months in the future). This doesn't happen when I am listening on my phone. Also when I am listening on my pc and open the Spotify app on my phone it says that I am listening to "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid", even when I am not. I've already tried reinstalling Spotify.
