Troubleshooting

• Redirect URI mismatch: Ensure the Redirect URI in your Spotify app matches exactly: https://dashboard.botofthespecter.com/spotifylink.php
• Permissions: Make sure your app has the necessary scopes enabled (user-read-playback-state, user-modify-playback-state, user-read-currently-playing).
• Rate limits: Spotify has rate limits; if you exceed them, wait before trying again.
