Resync isn’t working

I’m not sure if anyone else has the problem with Strava activities having gigantic (miles long) “spikes” in their activities which make my life map look wrong :frowning: Unfortunately, I’ve tried using the “resync” function in citystrides, but it says that “there are too many tasks running, try again later”

I’ve tried doing this for months and it hasn’t worked a single time, and I’m not sure if anyone else has this problem.

Yeah, resync pushes jobs to the same queue that city sync uses & that’s been a beast lately … I’ve been working on this problem since October 2025.

There’s a bit of a problem in how to handle this, because I either block the action (how it is now) or I allow it but it takes a long time. That wait can be confusing, which can result in people taking incorrect & drastic action like revoking access (which only deletes the account and all its data, it doesn’t resolve any issue).

I already have a 5/day limit on resyncs, and I already have phrasing that sets expectations (“The requested Activity is now being resynced. This may take a long time.”), so I’ll adjust it to remove the hard block … I’ll probably get this out sometime today. I’ll try to remember to update this post when it’s released.


Just in case - have you edited the activities in Strava to fix the ‘spikes’? If you haven’t fixed them there, then resyncing isn’t going to accomplish anything.
