Be careful when using StreetComplete. It's by far the most user-friendly OSM editor out there, but it bundles edits together in one big changeset. I didn't know that, so I used it on occasion to fill in information about places I was visiting, and right after to fill in information about places far away that I know intimately (where I live). This created a very geographically large changeset which got reviewers to shout at me multiple times about it (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changeset#Geographical_s...).

As an avid OpenStreetMapper I’m sorry you’ve been shouted at for something that is „not recommended“, but not really a big issue.
This should not happen in our community!
At most someone should have told you to try to avoid large bounding boxes as it is much easier to review geographically small changesets.
Sometimes large ones happen, especially if StreetComplete is set up this way, as matkoniecz mentions in another comment.
This was a while back so I can't recall precisely. Yes, I think I was travelling at the time, but I don't think the changes happened just before stepping on the plane, and I did have connectivity.
Name checks out? But thanks for the warning. I think my current usage patterns incidentally stop me from hitting that behaviour. I happen to know the sibling commenter contributes to the app, so hopefully it can be fixed.
