Do Bought Audiobooks Have Listening Caps?

[SahilShah52]

One thing that I was curious about is that the books that are included with Premium are all capped at 15 hours a month with the option to buy top-ups. I was wondering if that applies to audiobooks that I buy straight from Spotify? Like if it spend about $30 on an audiobook, am I still capped at 15 hours a month or is my listening time unlimited with purchased audiobooks?

Hey @SahilShah52,

Thanks for posting in the Community!

If you purchase an Audiobook, then it doesn't take from your monthly listening hours and you can listen to it as much as you want 🙂

More info on purchasing Audiobooks can be found in this article.

Let us know if you're wondering about something else.

Hi, just wondering if this applies to books I own but are now included with premium? Will it register that I own the book and not count towards my hours, or will it register it as included in premium and count the hours?

Hey there @userchuffed, 

Thanks for getting in touch about this here in the Community.

Since you own the book, it shouldn't count towards your listening time. However, if for some reason it's consuming that time, we suggest reaching out to our Support team through any of these channels so they can take a look a closer look at what might be happening.
