Excuse me, I joined the Strava Developer Program last year, but recently when I wanted to increase the number of connections, it prompted me that I need to subscribe and pay to use it. I want to confirm if all developers now need to subscribe and pay to use it. Can paying increase the number of users

Yes, every developer below 10000 users needs a subscription. The subscription IS the payment, there is nothing extra to pay. For details see

Thank you very much for your answer. I saw elsewhere that as of June 30, 2026, if you do not subscribe, you will no longer be able to use the API. Is this true?

Because our current user base has reached 999, I would like to apply for more people. May I ask if subscribing can get a faster official response

As everyone has to subscribe, a comparison base for response times for non subscribers doesn’t exist.
