Older flybys not working?

It appears that for any activity older than 6 months nobody shows up on the flyby for any activity I have. It seems like pretty much exactly a 6 month cutoff, anything longer ago than that when I click on the flyby I can see my track, but nobody else (even for activities where I know previously I could see others.) Is this something Strava is doing to save space on their servers or something? I really liked being able to go back to previous years' races to see where I was losing/ gaining time on people, so I hope they turn this back on soon!

Is 2/6/24 a set date, or is it a rolling 6-month period? The support article doesn't mention anything about the flybys being time limited.

It's a set date, maybe you overlooked that in the support article.

Ah, you're right, it's at the end. I wonder why this is the case? It's a shame to lose that data.

I would like to know whether this is a new feature? Because I used to be able to see up from about 2020 until now. 

And why is this so?
