Should I reapply for commercial use after I get Extended Quota?

Should I reapply for commercial use after I get Extended Quota?

I have an old app I created in 2019 and tried to submit a request for commercial license for using the playback API. Weeks gone by, no reply from Spotify, so I scraped the idea of playback API integration and monetize my app without it.

 

I did not check the developer dashboard again until late 2021. There, in app setting, written "extended quotas", I quick searched it that the status obtained after successful review by Spotify. Here I thought that my request from 2 years ago finally has been accepted, so I reimplemented the playback API integration again in my app and keep monetizing it, until today.

Here I mess up. Today I found out that there were some changes for third party app in early 2021, and the pre existing app statuses have been set to "Extended Quotas" by default. So I don't know whether Spotify has indeed approved my request or not

Should I need to reapply for commercial use or just disable the playback API altogether in my app's next release?

To answer your question, you should fill in the form before you can use it for commercial use. You don't need to reapply for a quota extension.

I have submitted the request. I have disabled streaming API related on my app for now until I get the result of the review. I hope it does not take too much time.
