I may get accused of driving like PSLewis here, but I'm on 27k with original pads! 03 STi with a reasonable amount of power!
Driving technique has a lot to do with it. Also, were the new pads standard Subaru? The old discs will cause high wear rate, initially, on new pad, until they bed- in to the profile of the worn disc.

My OEM disc/pads were swapped after 13k for some performace ones. The guy checking the discs used a blacklight and could see heat marks in various places and advised to not sit with foot brake on when stood still - I have always done this (only used h/brake when parked). Since then I use h/brake at lights, queues, etc - never sit with footbrake on so pads/disc are not burning each other.
As to replay to original question - advisory meaning 70%+ wear? How many mm left on the pads? You might still see a few thousand miles on them if only 70%
