App stuck at 1 authorized athlete despite multiple access extension requests

Hi Strava developer community,

I've built a running coaching app called VITE that uses the Strava API to automatically sync users' activities and match them to their training plan sessions.

My app is fully set up:

  • ✅ Public website with valid URL

  • ✅ Public Privacy Policy page

  • ✅ App icon uploaded

  • ✅ Authorization Callback Domain correctly set to my production domain

  • ✅ Scope: activity:read_all

  • ✅ OAuth flow working correctly (web + mobile via deep link)

The issue is that my app is stuck at a limit of 1 authorized athlete. I've submitted the access extension request multiple times over the past weeks but have received no response and the limit hasn't been updated.

I currently have 1 athlete connected (myself) and cannot onboard any other user — which completely blocks my ability to beta test with real users.

Has anyone managed to get this limit lifted? Is there a specific process or contact I'm missing? Any advice from developers who went through this would be really appreciated.

Thanks
