Deauthorize Expired Tokens with Maximized Athlete Capacity

How can my app deauthorize stale users when my app capacity has been reached. Can the expired token still be refreshed so we can then send a “deauthorize” request for it? I need to free up some connections as we have reached our maximum capacity.

 

Please advise.

Thanks,

Elvin

Can access tokens be refreshed even if our api application capacity (max 9,999) is already reached?

As long as the user didn’t revoke the access and you still have the refresh token it can be refreshed. Whether the access token you have stored on your side are expired or not has no influence on Strava’s count of users for your app.
