# print(playlist)

sp.user_playlist_add_tracks(user=user_id, playlist_id=playlist["id"], tracks=song_uris)

I got this error please help!

spotipy.exceptions.SpotifyException: http status: 403, code:-1 - You cannot create a playlist for another user., reason: None

Had the same error,
in:
playlist = sp.user_playlist_create(user=user_id, name=f"{date} Billboard 100", public=False)
I was using the "client_id" instead of the "user_id", make sure you are not mixing the two as well.
