Spotify experienced a widespread service disruption on September 29, leaving thousands of users unable to log in, stream audio, or search for music. Downdetector recorded more than 17,000 reports in the United States, with additional reports in the United Kingdom and elsewhere; many complaints involved the app, though some users also reported website problems while others said desktop access still worked. Spotify acknowledged the issue and said its engineering teams were investigating, but did not provide an estimate for when service would be fully restored. Anthropic’s Claude service also experienced disruptions that day, according to outage reports.
