Everyone waiting on Athlete Limit increase - let's coordinate

It looks like a huge percentage of posts over the past few weeks and months on here are about Strava’s utter silence regarding the Connected Athlete / Rate Limit increases that are going unresolved, and the non-response from developers@strava.com . Perhaps it could be helpful if everyone in this same boat (I’ve been waiting 7 weeks, with no response) to all post here, and we can coordinate a list of all Client IDs and what they’re wanting (Athlete Limit increase, Daily Rate Limit Increase, etc), and provide that to Strava to streamline for their developers (best case), or take it somewhere more visible online to draw attention to this situation (worst case, if things are still up in the air for a while). 

It’s not the waiting that’s necessarily the issue (although we all want to be able to move forward with our applications) - it’s the complete silence, and not knowing whether it’ll be another week or 6 months before we can expect a response. Right now, this forum is just a flood of people in the same boat, which would be a pain for them to sift through, and obviously the form submission backlog is huge right now. 

Respond away if all in this situation think it’s a good idea:

  • Client ID
  • App name
  • Requested increase
  • Date submitted
