Ory Community

Hey :wave: Our team have been thinking about implementing Auth with Ory. We have load tests that run every morning testing that would test our different auth end points, how would we manage this in regards to them being seen as test users? Or will we just have to pay for them as daily active users?

We were also wondering, if a user logged in once a day for the month, would that be seen as 30 daily active users?

second question first:
we calculate the _average_ DAUs over a month, so the your single daily visitor is 1 DAU, not 30

now for the first question: we have rate limited dev projects, where the users wouldn't count; but that might hit limits.
are we talking about _a lot_ of different users you have in your tests?

The email address is (for example) moonpigtest(i++)@test.com where i iterates each time. So it’s actually only one email account that gets registered. I believe it’s 20,000 hits to the login,  reset password and token refresh end points each day.
