The following is an official news post, originally available here.
How level 500 works on the leaderboards.
The game always remembers at what date and time you reached level 500 - regardless of if you have the leaderboards enabled.
When you enable the leaderboards you will be sorted into the correct position based on who actually achieved level 500 first.
This means if you leave the leaderboards and come back, you will not lose your position.
The leaderboards are opt-in to maintain the privacy of people who do not want to share that data and to comply with privacy laws.
