Now playing disappears, must delete cache & saved data

[Stveo85]

So actively using Spotify, this happens several times in a day. It will be playing, then it just stops, usually after a song. Usually a station. To fix I must delete the cache & save data, or play a song from something else, then switch back to what was playing. It is annoying. I tried the fix everything guide, no change. Ideas?

Nexus 5x Android 8.1.0, previous Android OS also had problem.

Spotify 8.4.42.722 arm v7, past Spotify versions have same problem.
