Hey @raghavgarg28, welcome to the Spotify Community! 🎵

The sound capsule updates based on your listening activity. Sometimes it can take longer than usual to reflect the latest changes. I have noticed this on my end as well but this doesn't seem like a bug, it just takes longer sometimes to show the latest stats.

Make sure you don't have Private Listening turned on else the stats might not add up.

Let me know if you need help with anything else. 🙂

Sound capsule is not updating as it should

I’ve recently noticed my sound capsule showing 2810 mins and I’m pretty sure I’ve listed to a couple more hours after checking. I’ve realized that it doesn’t update and shows the same 2810 string. Just want to know the technical root cause for this.

Hey Amay!

I have the same problem @raghavgarg28

My play time is stuck at 3,005 minutes since 15th February and I did Clear Data and reinstalled Spotify. (I'm on Android 16, Spotify Platinum)

Hi there, @Phantom_Rider and @ahzxne7fwng7mtnicl4b

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Spotify Community!

Jumping in to suggest to try with a different connection (like a different Wi-Fi network, mobile data, mobile hotspot) or to wait a few days to see if it makes any change. As @Amay mentioned Your Sound Capsule sometimes might take longer than usual to reflect the latest changes.

Keep in mind that in order to have access to Your Sound Capsule data you would have to listen to at least 30 tracks for over 30 seconds and stream at least 5 different artists. Also, make sure you're not listening in Offline mode or in a Private Session or your data wouldn't be collected.

If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you folks!

Hey Paula,

I have been using it for more than 3 hours now, and I have been on a different network the whole time and I assure I have not been on private or offline mode. It still doesn’t reflect as it should in the sound capsule.

Thanks and regards,

varu

Hey @Paula_Vi

Well it seems that's the Indian Sound Capsule servers are indeed having a trouble. (Not our apps.) It's a server sided issue with the last update reflecting on 15th of Feb.

As for your trial on helping us with 30 tracks over 30 seconds, I have over 3,000 minutes so that is not possible. And a decent Wi-Fi connection rules out any Client-Sided issue with network.

P.s. Appreciate the efforts 🙂

Problems with Sound Capsule

Sepulture — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 14:05:25 GMT

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask if anyone else has experienced something similar with their playback history and listening insights.

I have noticed that certain tracks I listened to repeatedly played in full and under normal usage condition are not being accurately reflected in features such as Sound Capsule. However, these plays appear to be registered normally in my day to day app usage and even show up in some external integrations.

To rule out common causes, I have already confirmed that:

- The tracks were played for longer than 30 seconds (they were not skipped).
- Private Session was not enabled during these listening sessions.
- The music was streamed directly from Spotify’s official catalog.
- My account is not shared with any other users.
- The activity occurred during regular use, including switching between devices and occasionally using offline/online modes.

I am wondering whether this could be related to synchronization delays, differences in how playback data is processed for insights, or a potential issue in how certain plays are recorded.

Has anyone encountered this before or has any information on how Spotify accounts for listening data in these features?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

Hey again folks!

Since you posted on the forum a few days ago, could you let us know if you've checked Your Sound Capsule since Friday and how things are looking for you at the moment? It'd be great if you could also share any additional details that you think could be helpful.
