Playlist Null when getting Recently Played tracks

Playlist Null when getting Recently Played tracks

For some users, when we get their recently played tracks, all playlist context is NULL. However, for other users, it passes through the correct context. Here are examples:

 

Same playlist for myself:

{
  track: {
    album: {
      album_type: 'single',
      artists: [Array],
      available_markets: [Array],
      external_urls: [Object],
      href: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/albums/27tsAgjTJsSDwUjooElYLk',
      id: '27tsAgjTJsSDwUjooElYLk',
      images: [Array],
      name: 'Cry',
      release_date: '2022-11-04',
      release_date_precision: 'day',
      total_tracks: 1,
      type: 'album',
      uri: spotify:album:27tsAgjTJsSDwUjooElYLk'
    },
    artists: [ [Object] ],
    disc_number: 1,
    duration_ms: 207652,
    explicit: false,
    external_ids: { isrc: 'FXQ892200472' },
    external_urls: {
      spotify: 'https://open.spotify.com/track/09kI7WYLChLijcBSrSxhee'
    },
    href: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/09kI7WYLChLijcBSrSxhee',
    id: '09kI7WYLChLijcBSrSxhee',
    name: 'Cry',
    popularity: 61,
    preview_url: https://p.scdn.co/mp3-preview/5379a5812b067364fc96ba92b19e5b3db672ba41?cid=4d156d4ae1774d6e9cdf264a7ba7f25d',
    track_number: 1,
    type: 'track',
    uri: 'spotify:track:09kI7WYLChLijcBSrSxhee'
  },
  played_at: '2023-01-10T18:15:18.008Z',
  context: null
}

As you can see at the bottom, it's null.

 

However, same playlist for my friend:

{
  track: {
    album: {
      album_type: 'single',
      artists: [Array],
      available_markets: [Array],
      external_urls: [Object],
      href: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/albums/0mPNeZzdOeFqU5KOCnOwJs',
      id: '0mPNeZzdOeFqU5KOCnOwJs',
      images: [Array],
      name: 'Riptide',
      release_date: '2021-12-24',
      release_date_precision: 'day',
      total_tracks: 1,
      type: 'album',
      uri: spotify:album:0mPNeZzdOeFqU5KOCnOwJs'
    },
    artists: [ [Object] ],
    disc_number: 1,
    duration_ms: 216000,
    explicit: false,
    external_ids: { isrc: 'FXQ892100128' },
    external_urls: {
      spotify: 'https://open.spotify.com/track/1PNQplgmCV84s4CYPf0Rr5'
    },
    href: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/tracks/1PNQplgmCV84s4CYPf0Rr5',
    id: '1PNQplgmCV84s4CYPf0Rr5',
    name: 'Riptide',
    popularity: 50,
    track_number: 1,
    type: 'track',
    uri: 'spotify:track:1PNQplgmCV84s4CYPf0Rr5'
  },
  played_at: '2023-01-10T18:30:23.072Z',
  context: {
    external_urls: {
      spotify: 'https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6IKQrtMc4c00YzONcUt7QH'
    },
    href: 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/playlists/6IKQrtMc4c00YzONcUt7QH',
    type: 'playlist',
    uri: 'spotify:playlist:6IKQrtMc4c00YzONcUt7QH'
  }
}

As you can see, the playlist context is passed through at the bottom.

 

I was looking at Github and noticed a few devs with the same issue in 2017/2018. Anyone have similar issues or can help with a fix from Spotify?
