As far as I can tell you already have 90 users so the trigger of 50 is not going to work.

If you want to bump it up to say 200 we could but we would have to run something locally on your instance.

I recommend you simply avoid using bootstrap mode for now and simple use “default trust level”, set it to 1, when you feel your community is bootsrapped enough set it back to 0.
