Clarifying realtime plan usage tracking/limits

[acarlson33]

Recently, the appwrite team announced they would be enforcing realtime plan limits. (Announcement for plan limit enforcement)

I'm confused about how connections are enforced. On the pricing page it states "concurrent connections" under plan comparison for realtime events. On my dashboard, it shows "Realtime connections 23/500". (For one given project)

Does appwrite calculate plan usage based on how many people are using realtime at once? (e.g. 20 people using an app with realtime at once contributes 20/500 on pro plan)

Or does it calculate based on how many people have used a realtime compatible app in the plan period (e.g. 200 people have used the app in a given month, but no more than 20 people are using it at once. In this case would it be 200/500 or 20/500 (because of "concurrent")?)

The metric is the peak number of concurrent connections you had during the current billing cycle
