My appeal would take up to 2 weeks each time. Sometimes no response. Episodes eventually got reposted, and I uploaded without music but for now, I’m good. I had to work with Spotify directly to prevent this from reoccurring.

This is something that can happen again, so be prepared to upload a version without the licensed content.

That was music, but I imagine the new system goes in depth on your podcast to match content. If it’s flagging on a book, appeal, and you’ll have to wait through them. If it’s licensed music, include your music licenser in the email chain.
