Strava API: Multiple Account Authorization

Problem:

We are building a proof of concept to use Strava for access metrics. We followed the first step in the Strava API documentation (https://developers.strava.com/docs/authentication/), which allows us to authorize the account that registered the API. However, we need to allow multiple accounts to authorize the same API without registering the API in each user's profile settings.

Error:

When revoking app access in the main account and a new user tries to authorize, we receive the error:

Error 403: Limit of connected athletes exceeded This app has exceeded the limit of connected athletes. If you are a developer of this application, please contact Strava developer support for how to request a quota increase.

Question:

How can we allow multiple accounts to authorize the same Strava API without the need to register the API in each user's profile settings? How can we avoid the "Limit of connected athletes exceeded" error?

You need to register your app with Strava to get out of "single player mode." Once approved you'll get increased API limits.
