Describe the bug
I've been a Psst user for a while, thanks for your nice work on it.

Not sure if it's just me, but for the past few days I experience strange network behavior.
Unclear if this issue originates from Spotify's server/CDN story, or how Psst connects, or somewhere else.
Does anyone else have this issue?

Basically since ~Thursday March 9, when Psst tries to request from api.spotify.com, it gets Network Error: timed out reading response

Curiously if I use a VPN, this error doesn't occur and Psst connects as usual.

Meanwhile regardless of VPN, Spotify.app and https://open.spotify.com are working as usual.
I tried deleting the config.json and re-logging in, but unfortunately no change in Psst behavior.

To Reproduce
Open Psst.

Expected behavior
Psst should show default content (songs, playlists, etc)

Screenshots

Environment

OS: macOS
Version: 13.2.1 (22D68)

Additional context
Psst release is dated Feb 11

Happy to provide more logs/etc to help debug, just let me know.

Hello @onpaws have you also tried deleting the cache folder? That worked for me with a similar issue.

There is definitely some network flakiness, I've also seen it break in the midst of a VPN connection.

Sounds like you may be suggesting the cache key(s) being somehow dependent on network status? Interesting.
I'll try that next time, thanks
