are Spotify id static?

I have a few theories, if the ids change, then downloadable data lets them maintain it. if the downloadable data is abandoned...then maybe the game fallback to the embedded data and perhaps the game will work for a little longer - the embedded is the last known version at build time. and hacking games like this is cheating that doesn't help anyone enjoy the game.( I could get a streak of in 1s in Wordle....but why? )

Do you have something like Sophos Endpoint managing your internet connection - I think it is blocking some of the html streaming used by this and other sites. I could not get Vercel's nextjs/react training modules to work because of Sophos.
