Spotify Error Code %0%

Facing the Spotify Error Code 0 or ‘%0%‘? Well, it isn’t a common error code that Spotify users face. But it is definitely acknowledged by several Spotify users on some occasions, often pointing to a server issue. Before you jump to a conclusion, read this article to know what the error code 0 exactly means and how to tackle it.

Spotify is one of the most popular online music streaming platforms among millennials. With several interesting features to take advantage of, Spotify can almost be referred to as the ‘best’ in terms of availability and pricing. Of course, there are competitors – Spotify doesn’t provide the best music quality yet. However, for an average music lover who likes to keep things simple and prefers an easily accessible app, Spotify is probably the best choice! Music apps like Spotify have become an essential part of our lives, especially when it comes to work productivity or relaxation. However, error codes can take the fun away and interfere with a user’s schedule.

The error code ‘%0%’ in Spotify does point to a server error. But it could also appear in your account is restricted. So, the error code 0 essentially means that the client cannot contact Spotify’s servers at the moment. Recently (March 8, 2022), several users faced the Spotify error code 0 when the service faced an outage for about an hour and a half. Although it was fixed soon, you may see the error 0 going ahead. Keep reading this article to know how to tackle it.

How to fix Spotify error code %0%?

Firstly, confirm whether it’s a server error on Spotify’s side. If yes, there’s nothing you can do from your side except wait for the officials to fix it. However, if you suspect that your account was banned, it may be a different story altogether. Have you been using third-party apps to modify your Spotify account’s data? A lot of users who tried using applications like an audio converter or mods to unlock Spotify’s premium features have gotten their accounts restricted. In such a case, you may run into an error code 0 or ‘%0%’, which means that your account is no longer accessible. If you suspect that your account has been disabled, check your email. Spotify should notify you about disabling your account via your email. You can appeal for an account restoration from here.

Spotify Error Code %0%

If the above doesn’t seem like your case, check whether troubleshooting your internet connection helps. Although not common, an issue with your network may cause Spotify to throw an error code %0%. You could also receive such an error if Spotify is restricted on the network you are using. If you are using a public network, try switching to mobile data or a private network. If you are facing the error on Spotify’s mobile app, try using the PC or console app. Also, disable your VPN – it could be a proxy issue. Lastly, make sure that a third-party app (anti-virus or other software) isn’t blocking Spotify.

The ‘hosts’ workaround

A user also suggested deleting entries with ‘spotify’ in them from the hosts file. This is a common workaround for any kind of Spotify error related to account authentication.
To do so, head over to this address from the File Explorer: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Now, look for a file called ‘hosts’. Open it with Notepad. Now, look for entries with “spotify” and delete them. You can also add a ‘#’ in front of those entries to disable them instead of deleting them.
