Hi everyone 

I’m the developer of a fitness app integrated with Strava, and I’d like to ask for some advice from the community.

Our app has grown to ~999 connected athletes, and we recently applied to increase our athlete limit to 10,000. Unfortunately, the request has not been approved yet, even though user growth is ongoing and we’re close to hitting the current cap.

I’m curious to hear from others:

  • Has anyone here successfully gotten their athlete limit increased beyond 1,000?

  • How long did the approval process take in your case?

  • Were there any specific metrics, usage patterns, or implementation details (e.g. webhooks, deauthorization flow, caching strategy) that helped with approval?

Any insights or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 🙏
