Quite podcast sad

For over a week now I have been having loads of issues downloading podcasts. Seems to have started sometime around when I upgraded to the latest Android version. At least the latest version that was offered to me, I see some are already on the next version. Anyway, my podcast app is suddenly having loads of difficulties downloading podcasts, and many downloads just keep failing. Once they fail, there is no way to restart the download. You tap the right buttons in the UI and nothing happens. This didn‘t used to be like that.
That combined with my cell network provider suddenly restricting bandwidth for some reason. That‘s been happening since the last time I topped up. The end result is I can hardly listen to any podcasts. For me this is a really big deal. Podcasts are one of the few remaining things in life that are good about the world. I had hopped it was just a temporary glitch that would sort itself out, but it just seems to be getting worse. I hate to say it but it‘s made me quite sad.
I openned a suport ticket with Pocket Casts and they have replied, but it just feels like nothing is moving forward with it. #
