Timing of daily mix updates

My Question or Issue

The timing of the daily mix list changes are unfortunate:

* I've 2 daily mixes set to be made available offline on my phone

* at ~7am I open spotify to give it an opportunity to update the downloaded mixes

* around 8:15 when I actually jump on my bike; both mixes contain non-downloaded content

I guess that the mix content have change around 8am which is very unfortunate for me...

* either having a way to adjust the time the daily mixes are updated would be nice

* or probably adjust the update time of the mixes based on the location of the user; I live in Europe/Hungary ; for me 2am would be great

cheers,

Zoltan

As an employee, what times do Daily Mixes actually update?

Hey @CuriousWizard,

We would be happy to explain how the Daily mixes work. 

If a Daily Mix is ​​opened up again within 8 hours, the playlist will pick up from where it left off, hence it will not be refreshed. If the mix is ​​inactive for more than 8 hours, then the playlist will be reordered and remixed for you. If you've played your Daily Mix continuously or played it and paused it, it won't be remixed for you until you actually switch to another playable content and then come back 8 hours later. 

Also note that the Daily Mixes are ​​not updated with fresh content every 8 hours, but they are curated again using the existing pool of your liked content (which in turn updates itself on a weekly basis).

Hope this helped out.
