Playback paused close to end of songs

[Prdcc]

When songs get towards 2-5 seconds from the end, the track gets automatically paused. This may have happened once on desktop (I'm not sure though) but certainly happens consistently on my phone.

I've already tried a soft reboot, reinstalling Spotify and turning on hapless playback + setting cross-fade to zero (as suggested in a similar thread) to no avail. I don't know if it's a coincidence but at about the same time I've noticed that shuffle seems to be broken, with the same song played twice in a row and not all the songs included.

Songs are all downloaded

Phone: Pixel

EDIT: can confirm this also happens on desktop (Windows 10 with spotify version 1.0.77.338.g758ebd78)
