Using Zitadel Cloud for Tailscale
I'm planning on using Zitadel Cloud for Tailscale. I'm just trying to understand the usage limits for the free account. I'm just a single person, but if I wanted to add a couple more users, I'm just trying to understand how the daily active users works. Like if someone logged in every single day, that means I could have up to three users, I imagine. I just want to clarify that because I was not fully understanding the documentation.

Hi @mackid1993, I'm an AI assistant for ZITADEL. While a team member reviews this question, I'll see if I can find relevant sources for your question.
Answer
Daily Active Users (DAU) in ZITADEL are counted as the number of unique users who authenticate or refresh their tokens ("login") during a given day—each user is only counted once per day, regardless of how many times they log in that day (1) . For example, if three users each log in every day, that would count as three DAU per day . The free plan on ZITADEL Cloud has a DAU limit, so if the limit is 100 DAU, you could have up to 100 users logging in once per day, or fewer users logging in multiple times, but each user only counts once per day toward your quota .

Got it. Tagging @Rajat for additional help.
I wasn't understanding the documentation on the Zitadel website and the examples given. My theoretical question is how many users could I have with my Tailscale setup. It sounded like it was three because of the example given on the website. Like 100 divided by three would be 90 and that would be 90 unique visits per month or something like that. I was very confused by the daily active users count.
