Cannot play music if multiple devices are running spotify (Premium)

Plan

 Premium

Country

 Hungary

Device

 LG G6 (Android 7, 7.1, 8, main language: English US, newest available Spotify version, currently:8.4.61.683), Lenovo Y700 (Windows 10 Pro, version: 1803 and below, language: Hungarian, newest Spotify version (Recently fully removed, then reinstalled. current: 1.0.84.344.gfc674f6f).

My Question or Issue

 When I start playing music on my phone, then I start Spotify on my PC and I press the play button the music stops on my phone, then my PC starts the song, but after 3 seconds it stops it. After that each time I press the play button it stops after 1 second. I also tried "switching devices" (both mobile and PC), remove app data/cache (on mobile). I also changed the download direction, checked without high-quality streaming, and with downloaded songs too.

 

 The issue also represents if the devices are on the same WIFI network, or not.

 

 Solving the problem: Close the application on all other devices, then wait for approx 10 minutes. 

 

 This issue is bothering me for months, and I tired of solving this issue manually every single time. 

 

Sincerely,

Peter
