It would be great to have the option to put all changes behind a retry mechanism like you recently did for the collaborator changes.

But I'll limit the 'issue' to the one I've observed many times, which is for # of playlists attributed to monitored account. In this case, I suspect it's going to '1' instead of '0' playlists because I have one manually added via the ADD_PLAYLISTS_TO_MONITOR configuration option.

In this case, all playlists are removed but then added back 30 minutes later at the next check. The removal may be due to Spotify nonsense or network problems executing the NPI, but it's incorrect.

@misiektoja commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2026):

I've implemented a new config option, PLAYLISTS_CHANGE_COUNTER, which works similarly to COLLABORATORS_CHANGE_COUNTER:

# Occasionally, the Spotify API glitches and returns incomplete/empty playlists list
# (e.g. network issues, API transient failures or playlists temporarily not visible)
# To avoid false alarms, we delay playlist change notifications until the same change is seen
# PLAYLISTS_CHANGE_COUNTER times in a row (set to 0 to disable this protection)
PLAYLISTS_CHANGE_COUNTER = 2

Let me know your feedback.
