Comment on Ask HN: How is the Spotify app so bad?parent

It's could still doing the authentication loop to check that you have the 'right' to access the things you downloaded, depending on how often the app refreshes the token they use to check.

But if I am in Airplane mode (or generally without any signal) why would it bother? Unless it checks a locally stored token for validity, which would be exploitable; but even so, a local check should be near instant.
