I'm getting this error when trying to install Spotify via winget:

An unexpected error occurred while executing the command:

Download request status is not success.
0x80190193 : Forbidden (403).

Command used: winget install -e --id Spotify.Spotify

This happens consistently on my machine. Other winget packages seem to install/update fine (or mention if they don't).

Environment:

• Windows version: [Windows 10 22H2]
• Winget version:
