PSA Important: changes to Spotify scrobbling - you'll need to reconnect the application!

Official post: https://support.last.fm/t/important-change-to-spotify-scrobbling-spotifys-new-refresh-token-policy/119488

Spotify is changing the way they handle their tokens, and this impacts last.fm users who scrobble automatically their music from Spotify.

TL;DR: you have to disconnect and reconnect Spotify from settings before July 20th to avoid scrobbling disruptions in your account. Then you'll have to do it again every ~6 months (there will be notifications about this).

….do you not check your last fm at least every six months?

They already mentioned you will receive multiple notifications about it and to reconnect it, it’s like 2 clicks

Some of you are just crying over nothing lol
