My Question or Issue

I always listen to lo-fi when I go to sleep or just take a nap and in starting 3 days ago or so (12/06/2022) the sleep timer wasn't working. The timer will finish and the music will continue to play. I first noticed casting to my desktop so I tried using just my phone. Same result. So then I read the thread on podcast sleep timer issues, and tried the turning off autoplay solution, tired it. Nothing. Just wondering if there are other potential fixes or if this is a software issue. (mobile version 8.7.88.496)

Hi there @Shlumpty12,

Thanks for the post.

I'd suggest you run a clean reinstall of the Spotify app on your phone just in case to make sure that you're running the latest app version and that you don't have any possibly corrupted app files that can interfere with the sleep timer settings. Please follow this guide.

If the sleep timer is still not working after that, please add your device model, OS version and exact Spotify version + any other info requested to this thread (the one about the Podcasts). We've received a few posts about it not working with music as well. Our tech teams are currently investigating why this is happening and will give updates to the situation in the thread from above.

Cheers.
