I created an app to download my activities and it had been working fine for years. April 21st is the last time I was able to run it and since then I have been getting an 401 code when trying to download data.

I’ve tried searching for answers and they all point to the access token but this is not the issue. Is anyone aware of any recent changes that could be causing this?

Which endpoints still work with your token?

GET /athlete and GET /athletes/{id}/stats work. I am also able to refresh the token.

Seems like a token or scope issue. Maybe you are using the token from the Strava API settings page  or you have reauthorized the scopes for the correct token and the activity:read_all wasn’t included or granted.
