My Question or Issue

I disabled mobile data for Spotify but the app is not in offline mode. I'm following a handful of playlists which are set to be downloaded to my phone.

More than often when I get in my car or out of the house and there is no Wi-Fi, Spotify will somehow update/refresh these playlists. That means the already downloaded playlists gets half-deleted and it wants to download new songs. But since there is no Wi-Fi it can't download them so I am out there with my previously downloaded playlist getting half deleted and the inability to download anything. 

Why does Spotify do this? I don't want to set it to offline mode because I am fine with it downloading stuff while Wi-Fi is available. But when I go out to start a run, open my app and like everything I follow is getting made unusable by the program itself this is getting frustrating.

I want Spotify to _only_ update downloaded playlists like Daily Drive or Radio when there is an actual Wi-Fi connection.
