Content types supported by the caching service
macOS includes built-in support for caching the following software.
macOS
- macOS updates and Internet Recovery images (macOS 10.13.5 or later)*
- Apps and app updates from the Mac App Store
- GarageBand downloadable content
- iCloud data caching (photos and documents)
- Apple Books content

I presume this was done in an app update, and my resulting increased cache was probably to blame for the app suddenly becoming painfully slow to use. Does anyone have any insight as to why the cache limit option was removed, and what is the most practical way to speed up my app which is now almost unusable? Spotify 1.0.96.181.gf6bc1b6b.
