📄 Description

On prolonged interactions with the Spotify API, I was running into token timeout errors. I think this was due to the gap between _is_token_expired call and the subsequent GET request sometimes being longer than the time left before token expiry. Returning True if the number of seconds between token timeout and current time was less than 60 solved the problem.
