Update 10th March 2023: Strava has increased Intervals.icu rate limits. All Intervals.icu users will continue to be able to download activities from Strava. More info here: Strava sync available to all users!
Intervals.icu has exhausted it’s Strava API rate limit every day for the last week and Strava are no longer increasing rate limits. This means that I have to make downloading activities from Strava a premium feature to reduce the number of calls to the Strava API. This will happen later this week. Future new users and current free users will be able download from Strava for a few weeks after which time a subscription will be required.
Downloading activities from Garmin, Polar, Suunto, Wahoo and Dropbox does not require a subscription.
I have opposite question. I only sync with Garmin as this is where Raw info comes from anyway,
I assumed Intervals.icu can compute the same stuff Strava is computing but might be I’m thinking wrong and I should sync with Strava
I have alot of the same data in both Garmin and Strava. I’m happy to turn off the Strava sync. Is it as simple as just deselecting Strava and selecting Garmin and this doesn’t cause any data issues?
David, shouldn‘t it be on STRAVAs to decide who is a premium user (like me) and leave the data through. It shouldn‘t be the service provider like intervals.icu to pay a second time.
Everyone who is a supporter please continue to use Strava if it is working well for you. There should be plenty of API calls after this update. The best experience is get raw files from Garmin/Polar/Suunto/Dropbox and also use Strava so you have segments.
Unfortunately I think Strava have decided to quietly drop the API by not giving out rate limits without all the bad press turning it off would generate. It isn’t possible for Intervals.icu to pay for access and Strava premium or not doesn’t make any difference.
If Strava do that then Intervals.icu is supposed to delete all the data. But I don’t think that is likely. Just limiting apps to the number of user’s they currently have by not granting rate limits does the job.
OK. I’ve been ‘playing’ (probably a bad thing). There seems to be some data duplication as the list of activities doesn’t provide enough TSS to generate this per week in the fitness graphs.
I’m wondering if it might be easier in my case to just delete the data there and re-sync everything from Garmin as I’m only interested in the last year anyway. Is that an option?
It will sync the last year of activities and then new ones as they come in. You can use the “Import all Garmin data” button in the Garmin box in /settings to get everything.
