My Question or Issue

I have a UClear HBC200 HD bluetooth headset for my motorcycle and have always had no issues using the play/pause/skip track functionality of the headset until fiarly recently (likely after a recent update) where the pause/stop functionality seems to no longer work. Starting playback and skipping songs seems to work fine as well. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify from my phone (rebooting in between), disabled auto car mode, disabled waze integration, and disabled battery optimization. All the bluetooth functionality works correctly for other apps such as Podcast Addict and VLC for android, just not for Spotify. This essentially makes it very unusable and dangerous to use on my motorcycle as I can not easily stop playback. Please fix.
