  I have ‘Only on Unmetered WiFi’ option turned on and Auto-Download Up Next turned on in settings.

  When I’m not connected to a WiFi network and then add an episode from a playlist to Up Next, the app starts downloading the episode immediately via cellular data.

  I sent in a support ticket with logs attached.

  Additional test: I turned off WiFi on the phone and then added episodes to Up Next (added at top). They downloaded almost immediately via cellular data.
