It's happening on Vivaldi as well. Nothing that's specially related to Opera.

But it's not happening with Chrome btw.

I've disabled third-party-cookies blocking, adblocker, tracking protection. But nothing seems to work.

Things to double-check:

If you're using Opera Sync and syncing settings, disable syncing of settings at the URL opera://settings/syncSetup.

At the URL opera://settings/content/siteData, make sure the default behavior is set to Allow sites to save data on your device and both of the customized behavior lists are empty.

At the URL opera://settings/cookies, make sure it's set to Block third-party cookies in Incognito mode and make sure the allow list is empty.

Then, goto the URL opera://settings/clearBrowserData and clear "cached images and files" and "cookies and other site data" for all time. You'll be logged out of all sites.

Then, goto the URL opera://about, take note of the "profile" path, close Opera and delete the "Cookies" file in the "Network" folder in the profile folder. If it's not in the "Network" folder, look in the root of the profile folder.

Then start Opera and try things out.

If that doesn't do the trick, since you're on macOS, you might be experiencing this issue. It doesn't sound like it since it seems to only be an issue with Spotify, but try anyway if you have to for good measure.

Besides that, while Opera is fully closed, you can check permissions of "/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support/com.operasoftware.Opera/" and make sure the folder and all of its file and subfolders are not set to read-only.

Also, make sure the time, date, time zone and daylight savings settings are correct for macOS.

@burnout426 Thank you for these hints. Still believe it must rather be an issue on Spotify's side.
Yes, I'm on Mac, but it's happening on the Windows version as well.
On Windows, I tested Chrome (passed) and Vivaldi (failed). On Mac I tested Safari (failed) and Vivaldi (failed). It's only happening with Spotify, I activated my Deezer account as well - no problem. Nor are there problems with Instagram or any other site, as far as I have noticed.
I don't seem to be logged out completely, as I get no notification about a new log in via mail as if I were doing a brand new log in.
Maybe, I'll wait the next few days to come, if there's a fix. Other steps might be to far reaching at this moment.

I've found this thread in the Spotify community. Originally from 2019, but issue is happening to people, recently as well.

Finally, it works again as expected.
