Hey!
Something seems to be wrong with your Spotify app, sometimes it helps just creating a new one and using that one instead.

ridiculous case 🙃

solved, apparently because of a problem when copying the CLIENT_ID using the Chrome browser Version 85.0.4183.121, when pasting the CLIENT_ID in the text editor, the result given was different from the original.

alternative way is to use another browser when copying CLIENT_ID, in this case i'am using Mozilla
