About Spotify outages
Spotify's client is unusually resilient because downloaded tracks and a local cache keep working offline, which means an outage often shows up first as a failure to search, to load playlists or to start a new album rather than as silence.
The symptoms most reported are a home screen that never populates, "Something went wrong" on playlist load, tracks that skip immediately after starting, and Connect failing to find speakers or a phone. Because Spotify runs a large amount of its backend on Google Cloud, wide cloud incidents can affect it. Login is a separate service and breaks on its own; if you are already signed in during a login outage you may not notice anything. Podcast delivery uses a different path again, so podcasts can fail while music plays. Spotify publishes component-level status at status.spotify.dev, aimed mainly at developers using its API.
What to do if Spotify is not working for you
Is it them or you?
Our last check reached spotify.com normally, from a different network, resolver and route than yours. If it is broken for you, the fault is most likely local or too narrow for a single probe to see. Run the check again now to confirm.
The first thing worth trying
Write the error code down before retrying. Streaming apps show genuinely diagnostic codes, and they are the fastest route to knowing whether the fault is your account, your network or the service.
How streaming services typically fail
Browsing works, playback does not. An error code appears rather than a blank screen, and it is often the most useful thing on the page. Downloads already on the device keep playing, which is a strong signal the fault is in delivery. The rest of the steps, and why this category breaks the way it does, are on our streaming status page, with more background in what error codes mean.
The link below unfurls into a live card showing the verdict, so whoever you send it to sees the evidence rather than your word for it.

Spotify measured against its peers
How it compares with other streaming services
Over the last 30 days Spotify ranks 3 of 6 streaming services we monitor, measured on recorded uptime. The category averages 100.0%, and Spotify sits at 100.0%. The steadiest in this group is YouTube.
On speed, Spotify answers our checks in about 369 ms against a category average of 414 ms - Faster than its peers. Response time is not availability, but a service drifting well above its own normal is often the first sign of trouble.
What the last 24 checks looked like
Across the most recent 24 checks, the quickest response was 278 ms and the slowest 859 ms, against a 30-day average of 369 ms. The chart above plots each one, so a widening spread is visible before it becomes an outage.
All figures are our own measurements, taken every 20 minutes from one network. What that can and cannot see is set out in the methodology, and every streaming service is listed on the category page.

An expired certificate stops browsers loading a site entirely while the server itself stays perfectly healthy, which is why we track it beside the uptime figure. Check it yourself.
Spotify status: Common questions
Is Spotify down right now?
Spotify is up and responding normally. This page is refreshed by an automated check that runs every 20 minutes from an independent network, and by reports from visitors.
Why can I not reach Spotify when you say it is up?
Because an outage can be partial. Our check runs from one network and asks for one page. Your problem may be regional, may affect only the mobile app, or may be local to your connection, DNS resolver or browser cache.
How reliable is Spotify?
Spotify has been reachable for 100.0% of the last 5 days we have measured, with 0 seconds of recorded downtime.
Does Spotify have an official status page?
Yes - Spotify publishes one at https://status.spotify.dev/. It is the authoritative source for confirmed incidents, though official pages usually update after user reports have already peaked.
