The quota mode refers to the mode in which an app can be: development mode or extended quota mode.
You can check the current mode of your app by checking the App Status value in the App Settings:
Development modeNewly-created apps begin in development mode. This mode is perfect for apps that are under construction and apps that have been built for accessing or managing data in a single Spotify account.
Up to 25 authenticated Spotify users can use an app that is in development mode — so you can share your app with beta testers, friends, or with fellow developers who are working on the app. Each Spotify user who installs your app will need to be added to your app's allowlist before they can use it.
Adding a user to your app's allowlistAllow another user to use your development mode app by following these steps:
Users may be able to log into a development mode app without having been allowlisted by the developer. However, API requests with an access token associated to that user and app will receive a 403 status code error
Extended quota modeExtended quota mode is for Spotify apps that are ready for a wider audience. Apps in this category can be installed by an unlimited number of users and the allowlist in development mode no longer applies. Extended quota mode apps also have access to a higher rate limit than development mode apps do.
