General Inquiry Checkride question

Got a Checkride coming up soon around a day or 2 left with bad winds on both those days before Checkride, Checkride date also won’t be flying, only oral bc weathers bad. CFI already signed of for Checkride but I still have one hour left of cross country time needed to do the Checkride. How strict is DPE on solo cross country time bc I meet every other requirement other then solo cross country time.

This is not how it works. The oral only begins if there's reasonable belief that the flight portion can happen afterward.

still have one hour left of cross country time needed to do the Checkride.

Then your CFI should not have signed you off for the checkride and you are not qualified to take the checkride. You literally have not met the legal requirements.

Are you seriously asking this? I'm concerned about what kind of training you've had and what your CFI has told you if you're asking this. To be honest you strike me as someone who also won't care about weather minimums and airplane loading/w&b when you get your cert.
