Followed discover weekly does not update on MacOS, iOS nor web

[whywhywhy4]

I've followed a friend's account's discover weekly for years. Somewhat recently it has stopped from updating on MY accounts, but yes on theirs.

So every week their discover weekly updates as normal, but they are stuck on mine – often days or entire week.

I have tried re-following. I have tried disconnecting, logging back in. I've used latest version on MacOS, iPhone and even the web client.

If they share me the playlist in whatsapp, I can see the latest updated content in the preview image. If I open the shared link to the discover weekly playlist in my web browser with incongnito mode, it shows the correct content. If I then login in the same incognito session to Spotify it shows the old content once logged in. It just refuses to show me the latest version of their playlist if I'm logged in – across all devices.

You have some bad backend cache code going on, that locks the user to old versions – please fix! If you contact me privately, I can share account information etc.

Update: the discover weekly list will only update for me if the person goes to their own Spotify account and plays the list directly. Otherwise the generated list won't update to others. This happens because they very rarely listen to the their own discover weekly (we listen them together on my account). This cache behaviour is annoying.
