Extra Chapters Auto Adding on Podcasts

I'm listening to a podcast (the vanished) on Spotify mobile. They preview when playing (on the bottom in the home screen- attachment from computer and phone), is how's the correct progression is (X out of 1.2 hours). But when I click on it and it bring up the normal preview on mobile (attachment), it adds chapters. For example, it's now saying one podcast episode is 3+ hrs long- when this one is 1.2 hours. I think It's adding additional "chapters" on to the one which I am listening too. Happening to some other podcasts too. I can't submit a "bug" normally or get any technically support. This is so frustrating trying to navigate a podcast when there's extra chapters that are added.

Yep, same here. The end time in the timeline will sometimes be much longer than the actual episode. Running on android, version 9.0.96.826

Same issue here. I keep thinking my episode has 30-40 minutes remaining, but then it ends "early" because the displayed length was incorrect. Ridiculous that we can't disable auto-chapters. (And don't even get me started on auto-captions)
