It may have happened to you more than once. You are listening to your favorite music and suddenly it stops playing. What can be caused this? Why does Spotify pause by itself?

The first thing you should be clear about is whether you have a good Internet connection. Keep in mind that, unless you have a Premium account and have downloaded a playlist, in principle you cannot listen to music on Spotify unless you have internet connection Therefore, the most common reason why your favorite song may have suddenly paused is that you have had a microcut in the connection that has prevented it.
To make sure of this, the easiest way is to try to do some other action on the Internet from the device on which you are listening to music . If you see that the network works perfectly for everything else, it is clear that the problem lies elsewhere. And the different issues that will make you wonder why Spotify is pausing alone might depend on the device you're using.

Spotify pauses only on iPhone and Android
If your problem is that Spotify pauses only on iPhone and Android, the problem may be similar to what we are experiencing on PC.
