TL;DR
GetShowEpisodes is often returning the wrong Episode.resume_point.fully_played value; GetEpisode is working as expected.
My Question or Issue
I use Spotify API to generate an specifically ordered list of Podcast episodes each day. I noticed as of about a week ago, that the API is not returning the correct value of Episode.resume_point.fully_played via GetShowEpisodes. The value often disagrees with the Episode.resume_point.fully_played value fetched from GetEpisode (which matches the value shown in the Spotify Client UI).
Reproduction Steps

Thanks for the detailed report, this helped us reproduce the problem. We will post an update in this thread when we have a fix in place.
Here are my findings from manually comparing GetEpisodes and GetEpisode. (When calling GetEpisodes, I made a single request with all the IDs. When calling GetEpisode, I made a separate request for each ID.)
GetEpisode is consistent with the Web Client (open.spotify.com). GetEpisodes is inconsistent and shows no clear pattern as to how.

Lately, however, whenever I call GetEpisodes or GetEpisode outside of the web client, I do not get any resume_point data. I think there's another bug here.
The no 'resume_point data' in the previous reply has "magically" been fixed, but the main issue is still relevant.
Thanks for the detailed report, this helped us reproduce the problem. We will post an update in this thread when we have a fix in place.
This looks like this was fixed in the other thread 🙂
I also confirmed that the GetEpisode, GetEpisodes, and GetShowEpisodes endpoints are all returning the same `resume_point` values 🙂
Thanks again for the fix!
