Since approximately one week the Spotify App on my M1 Mac is extremely unresponsive and slow, although all other Apps run normally at the same time.

 

I uninstalled an installed Spotify several times, deleted my cache and so on several times - no change.

I want to clarify that my issue has nothing to do with Android, Android TV, or being plugged into TV. The app is slow on startup and equally slow when navigating within Spotify. My Daily Playlists do not refresh, and podcast browsing & selecting episodes are very slow or unresponsive.
