When you have the tire off, see how thick the remaining rim wall is. It is likely that in the long term it will become too thin. But people looking at the picture on the internet, can't tell how thin it is now.

2300km would be a really short lifespan for a decent rim but it's not impossible and it really depends on riding style, conditions, brake pad, etc.

Some brands (e.g., Shimano) build wear indicators into their rims so there's never any question. In other cases, you need to measure the remaining thickness with a micrometer. You could try asking Alexrims themselves for guidance. I had a look on their site and found a yawning chasm where support documents would be (in an ideal world).

You can find simple guidance here and more in-depth help here. This video is handy, too.

Only one thing is certain: you DO NOT want to let the rim wear too thin. It can end in catastrophic failure and a life-changing accident.

I agree, a picture wont tell the whole story here, but for your peace of mind, a few months isnt usually enough to wear out the brake line though, it takes years for this to be fully worn out.

I completely agree with enkei. Check with your rim manufacturer for guidance or even the local shop. I had a catastrophic failure of the rim probably because of this precise reason. Fortunately, I wasn't riding too fast or any such. So, it wasn't a serious fall or accident. Good luck and be safe, PaulC.
