What Happens if You Hide and Unhide Too Many Songs?
You might be wondering what happens if you hide and unhide too many songs on Spotify. The good news is that the only consequence will be that you won’t be able to use the feature for a period of time. Spotify will temporarily restrict your ability to hide and unhide songs after you have done it too often, in order to protect the integrity of their service.
Once your account has been flagged for an excessive number of hides or unhides, do not despair—the restriction is only temporary and users are usually back up and running with access to the Hide/Unhide feature after 48 hours. If after 48 hours your account is still restricted, then you may need to contact Spotify support directly in order to get it sorted out.
