That's because for some reason the spotipy that comes by using pip install spotipy isn't up to date with the github, so what I did to fix the issue is:

Setup a python venv in your project directory
cd your_project_dir
python3 -m venv venv > On linux you need to install python3-pip and python3-venv packages first.
Install spotipy and your other packages if you need.
In your newly created venv folder, navigate to venv/lib64/python3.10/site-packages/spotipy
In that directory you will find a file called cache_handler.py, go here and copy that and paste it in that file.
Save and reload your project and that should work.
