Get recently played issue

The get recently played end-point only includes songs that are played to completion.

Songs don't need to be 'played for more than 30 seconds', if you only listen to the final 5 seconds of the song until it finishes it will get added to recently played.

Therefore it doesn't truly reflect the users play history. For example, if they listen to a 5 minute song for 3 minutes then skip, it doesn't show up.

This needs to be addressed, at the very least a response from Spotify saying whether they intend to change this or not would be nice.

The end point should be titled recently-finished if this is intentional.

Either this end point needs to be updated or a new one that accurately reflects the user's recently played should be added.
