Spotify says I need premium when I already have it

Spotify says I need premium when I already have it

Hello everyone, I just upgraded to spotify premium 3 to 4 hours ago, however when I run my application in pycharm it keeps saying I still need to upgrade it:

 

Error starting playback: 403 - {
"error" : {
"status" : 403,
"message" : "Player command failed: Premium required",
"reason" : "PREMIUM_REQUIRED"
}
}

For context I am trying to create an app that plays a playlist for a school project
