Podcasts Incorrectly being marked as 'Played'

When a new Podcast comes out. For instance one came out today that I have NOT listened to they are automatically showing as 'Played'.

This is happening on my MAC desktop as well as mobile App.

What is going on here?

Hey there @gabep500,

Thanks for the post!

We'd recommend you try logging out Everywhere to force sync your account with the servers. 

Also, send us a link/URI to the podcast episode in question, this will help us investigate why this might be happening.

Cheers.

I am having the same problem across different podcasts and it shows episodes played fully or halfway.
For example, I recently started a new podcast and had listened to a couple of episodes, after opening the app the next day to pick up where I left off- a whole bunch of episodes I had NOT listened to nor even opened showed as played or halfway played. I have noticed this bug for the last few weeks.

Hey @signepikkat, 

Thanks for reaching out about this and welcome to the Community! 

Just to confirm, have you tried logging out everywhere by following the steps in the link @Alex sent previously? 

On another note, would you mind checking if this happens across devices or only on a specific one? Additionally, sending us the podcasts' URI where you noticed this behavior would come in handy. 

Lastly, could you let us know the exact make/model, operating system and Spotify version of your devices?

We'll be on the lookout.
