My Question or Issue

I have Download Over Cellular turned off. Sometimes Spotify will randomly start playing a track and use mobile data to download it. What part of not downloading over cellular does Spotify not understand? With the advent of Oreo, we no longer have the ability to block individual apps from using cellular data entirely, only to restrict them from using data in the background. I've already used the Nuclear Option on YouTube and blocked it using a VPN/filter app since there's not even an option to disable mobile data use. I'd do the same with Spotify but it won't let me play downloaded tracks if I don't have a data connection to the servers, so completely blocking makes it pointless to even use it.

It seems to happen most frequently when I'm listening to podcasts and finish the last downloaded episode. Spotify "helps" by grabbing another one in that show at random and starts downloading/streaming it VIA CELLULAR DATA.

Getting real tired of paying a premium for ameteur software.
