Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/799

Hi, when I use spotify-tui it connect and works fine but when I do somethig, like change song or anything else, it loads for some seconds and then it gives me an error 503 (sometimes for like a second is 504 then it instantly change to 503). I have a premium account and everything seems correct in the developer page. Am I missing something? Seems like a problem with API but I don't know what it could be

I am also experiencing this problem. Music is playing fine, but the playback cli only ever returns the following:
Error: Spotify API reported error code 503
I can still interact with the music, toggle, skip song, etc, but it doesn't want to give me the any of the formatted output.
Also the actual tui keeps dropping me into that red error screen. I can just escape out of it, but it is a nuisance.

Same here. Using version 0.23.0.
I noticed that behavior at the beginning of the week. I'm using spotify-tui + spotifyd.

Exact same thing here, whether using the web player or spotifyd.

I'm on arch linux, using version 0.23.0-1.

According to Spotify Web API, it seems like 503 is a server error:

Service Unavailable - The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. You can choose to resend the request again.

I couldn't find any documentation on the 504 error on Spotify's developer portal

I know, but I cant't find a fix.

Error 504 should be "Gateway timeout"

Everything seems back to normal for me now. Anyone else?
Guess it was a problem on spotify's end.

Back to normal for me too

Guess it was a problem on spotify's end.

I'm thinking the same thing, I think I can close the issue.
Thanks everyone!
