My Question or Issue

If playing a song, system becomes unstable and "System UI" crashes, putting phone back to lock screen. Any interaction with Spotify will cause another crash (pausing, changing song, etc.) Even showing the notification drawer for a period of time can cause a crash. I cannot listen to music on this device any more.

This is after performing a factory reset, I'm on version 8.5.57.1164.

UPDATE: when I disable notifications for spotify, the crashes stop. It seems that something about the notifications causes system ui to crash.
