The main reasons why Spotify keeps pausing are often linked to:
- Unstable internet connection: If the Wi-Fi or cellular data is weak or fluctuating, Spotify pauses to prevent audio distortion.
- Multiple devices logged into the same account: If someone else is playing music on another device using the same Spotify account, playback pauses on your device.
- Bluetooth connection issues: Interference or unstable Bluetooth connection between headphones and device can cause interruptions.
- Data Saver or Low Power mode turned on: These settings limit background activity or data use causing playback issues.
- Cache or app data corruption: Accumulated cache or temporary files can cause malfunction and pauses.
- Outdated Spotify app version needing update.
- Integration issues with other apps like Discord causing Spotify to pause every 30 seconds during voice chat transmissions.
To fix the issue, try these steps:
- Check and stabilize your internet connection.
- Log out from all devices on your Spotify account and change your password.
- Turn off Data Saver and Low Power modes on your device.
- Clear Spotify's cache in app settings.
- Make sure Spotify app is updated.
- Allow Spotify to run in background in your device's app/battery settings.
- Disconnect Spotify from apps like Discord if you use voice chat.
These solutions address the most common underlying problems causing Spotify to pause unexpectedly during playback.
