To fix this issue, you need to sign out of your Spotify account on all devices first. Log into your Spotify account via browser, go to profile > account, scroll down and click Sign out everywhere. This method doesn’t include partner devices, such as Sonos and PlayStation.

The Data Saver mode of Spotify helps you save cellular data, however it also slows download the internet speed. This also could be the reason for Spotify playback issue. You can turn off the Data Saver mode via: Spotify app settings > Data Saver > Audio Quality.
The lower power mode can cause lags while streaming Spotify music. For iPhone users, you can go to Settings > Battery to turn off the Low Power mode. For Android users, you can swipe down on your home screen and unselect Low Power mode.
If you are listening to Spotify music with your headphones, then you need to check your headphones as well.
Wired Headphones: check if the audio jack isn't plugged in properly, or is there any problem with the wire. You can replug the headphones or try other headphones.
Wireless Headphones: bad Bluetooth connection may cause the music to skip or stop entirely. You can pair your wireless headphones with another app to see if the problem still occurs. Ensure your wireless headphones have enough battery and no other wireless devices are connected to Spotify at the same time.
Spotify is an app that keeps playing in the background. If you have turned off the Background App Refresh option, Spotify won’t be able to refresh and may automatically pause songs.
