Spoitfy is eating MB

[dala_peter]

Hi!

I've read that spotify on high quality take approx. 115 MB / hour.

Just listened to 1 song (4min) and lost 130 MB.

Then with the spotify app on, but without playing any music i continue losing crazy amount of MB. Went from 255 MB used to now 620 MB.

I've checked that spotify isn't making any of my playlists to a offline-list, and it's not. So i really don't have a clue on what's going on.

Useless Tele2 (swedish phone-company) can't track/check if there is anything weird going on. According to them, everything is in order.

Is there any spotify/MB-use guru out there who can perhaps can help me understand what is going on? 🙂

Thx in advance!

Since update 5.3 i have exactly the same thing. Seems like a data leak. Just mailed support about this.

So i'm not the only one then...

It would be appreciated if you could update with answer from support here aswell 🙂

I had the same issue today, It used up 500MBs of my data overnight and I was listening for only a good 20 mins. This needs to be resolved - I've read forum posts from upto 2 years ago. 

Spotify just isn't helping...

Hey @dala_peter @KMBong @Garbera

Are you still having this problem?

There was a high data usage bug a few weeks ago.

This has now been fixed:
