Shuffle is limiting songs to a few looped instead of larger playlist

[#1]

I have over 1000 songs on my playlist. Suddenly I am only hearing the same songs looping over and over again. About 15 songs or so and it won't play other songs. I took off repeat. I took off autoplay. I was guided by Spotify to remove the app from my phone and reload. Same problem recurs. Very frustrating to not have a true shuffle function working.
