Recently played artists section not updating

[Maria]

We've been seeing reports from users that the recently played artists on their profile are not updating, while recently played in listening history is working as expected.

Thanks for responding,**bleep** problem here. Going on the 3rd day. I am NOT having a Private Listening session.

I don't know why the UI bleeped your name. Same problem here, going on 3rd day, NOT having Private Listening.

I think the easiest way to solve this is as follows. Is this 'problem' affecting some people on the app, or all listeners? If it's only some people, it's a bug. If it's all listeners it is either a critical failure like their server farm caught fire or something (and would be in the news) or it's an update. Take a look around and see if you can find a single profile's artists updating. If not, best we call the fire dept.

Yours has updated within the last few hours, correct?

[Leedjinn]

Absolutely! But it is not updating in "real time". I turned spot on at about 8am (GMT +2). I've been playing since then - 6pm here. That's 10 hours straight. It updated *once*.

The last artist I have updated is "elbow" - played two hours ago... I'm still listening. I expect my next update if not later tonight, then when I log in tomorrow, to do it all again...

It’s been 2 days like this for me… really hope they fix it ASAP. I can’t imagine it’s a difficult thing to do, seeming it’s been working until now.

I don't think it's broken. I think this may actually be quite cool. A lot of the time I thought Spot wanted me to listen "less" - I'm like a farm, there is no ways they can be paying artists justly where I consume as much product as I do, for such a reasonable sub... I mean, what they really want is you to sign up and eff off, pardon the french, not listen to 200 000 mins/ annum. Now, with this update, you'll have to increase your consumption to update your artists more regularly. IDK - maybe it is a bug...

I am Premium… from what I can see it’s happening to most if not all (but can’t be 100%). The people I know their lists aren’t updating.

It’s been 3 days and my recently played artists aren’t updating. Even when I click on my friends profile to view their recently played artists it’s stayed the same. I think it might be a glitch, I’ve cleared cache, tried on my desktop and uninstalled the app but still the same
