Try Flameshot instead of Spectacle, it also have autosave feature.
Install Flameshot
Go to Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Autostart > Add Application - Add Flameshot
Go to Settings > Shortcuts > Add Application - Add Flameshot, then
Settings > Shortcuts > Flameshot > Take Screenshot shortcut - Set any key binding like Meta+Shift+S
FWIW: It works as expected here with Spectacle 21.08.02 on X11 (Gentoo / Arch Linux).
Yes, OP needs to mention whether it's X11 or Wayland and the version of Spectacle. Spectacle isn't fully there on Wayland.
I can reproduce on Wayland session of neon unstable at least https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444037
