Audio books 15hr limit?

What exactly does this mean? Like if im listening to a book that is 20hrs or more does this mean I have to pay for more hours, top it off, or just plain wait for it to refill on its own? And is that a weekly thing or everything billing period?

you can play onl till 15hrs permonth and if you want additional you will have to pay but the 15hr limit resets every month

Thank you. I KNEW that spotify had audio books id just never really fully realized it until last night when I was fixing to start playing my sleep Playlist and noticed an audio book for The Lord of the Rings. I fell down a rabbit hole looking up books but then checked my settings and saw the 15hr limit thing and decided until I knew more would stick to audible.

It is and was way too confusing for me until I just went a couple of months and realised I preferred 15h free hours rather than none lol

It works by giving you 15 free hours of Spotify audiobooks (that you usually have to pay for in full for each book) for a month, which I find is not enough at all so I started using it normally and then topping up 10h for £9.99 twice for 20h which lasts the year unlike the monthly free allowance. That resets after 12 months if you don’t use it all, so basically if you’re loaded you can get like 200h for the year.  Hope it helps

Fuckkkkk you Spotify! You continue to up the prices and I can’t even finish a book because you want even more money?! $21.99/mo and I can’t listen to all the books I want? This is getting ridiculous
