Sound fades and playback stops every 30 minutes

  • Unknown's avatar

    In the last few days the sound fades on my podcasts exactly every 30 minutes and then playback stops. I can “cut off” the fading by stopping the playback and restarting, which restores the volume, but then a second (or so) later the playback stops as it would have if I didn’t interrupt it. I can restart playback easily enough; however, this situation repeats itself exactly 30 minutes later. I have not had this same problem while playing music or through other apps. It appears to be a Pocket Casts only problem.

    Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    • Pocket Casts version – 7.74.1.0
    • iOS 18.0 (2A3354)
    • iPhone 15 Pro
    • Playback over Bluetooth headphones (I do not play out of the speakers, so I have not attempted to replicate this through without a connected headset)

    Hi there, @nch9cqct2z 👋

    I am sorry to hear that you are facing this experience. Thank you for taking your time reporting this.

    It seems that the sleep timer feature is enabled. Could you confirm if this is the case? You can find more information at this link: https://support.pocketcasts.com/knowledge-base/sleep-timer-2/
