Web API extended access for app

[uliniklaus]

Dear Spotify Developer Support Team, community,                                                                                                                                                                  
I am the developer of an App, a band management SaaS application for iOS built with Flutter. The App helps musicians manage gigs, setlists, finances, and band logistics.                                                                                                     
I am writing to request an extension of the Spotify Web API quota limits. My app is currently in active development and has not yet launched publicly, but I am onboarding early-access users for beta testing and the current 25-user limit in Development Mode is blocking further testing.       
                                                                                                  
Feature using the Spotify API:                                                                    
The Band includes a feature which converts a band's setlist directly into a
Spotify playlist. For each song in the setlist, the app searches the Spotify catalog by title and artist (/v1/search), creates a playlist (/v1/me/playlists), and adds the found tracks (/v1/playlists/{id}/items).                                                                       
                                                                                                  
  Current API usage:                                                                                
  - GET /v1/search — song lookup per setlist item
  - POST /v1/me/playlists — one playlist creation per export                                        
  - POST /v1/playlists/{id}/items — batch track addition                                          
  - GET /v1/me — user ID lookup                                                                     
                                                                                                    
Why I need extended access now:                                                                   
The app is not yet publicly released on the App Store. However, I need more than 25 users to properly test the feature across different setlist sizes and user accounts before launch. I am targeting a public release in the coming weeks and want to ensure a stable experience before rolling out broadly.                                                                             
What are my options?
Before making a roll out with the app, i need the extended quota for all app users, otherwise it will not work properly..
How does it work? What is needed from my side?
 
                                                                                                                                        
Regards,
