Hi, Baserow Cloud with Free plan. My workspace usage dashboard shows Application user usage: 6 / 5 and I received the corresponding limit notifications. The Workspace usage docs state the limit is 500 on all plans, and that the displayed value is a legacy limit of 15, not enforced. My workspace shows 5. These are Local Baserow application users (email/password user source in the Application Builder). When the hard limit introduced in Baserow 2.4 is enforced, will it use 500 or the value currently displayed in my workspace? I plan to have around 40 such logged‑in external users. Thanks. ![image](https://community.baserow.io/uploads/default/original/2X/c/c765612b9d7ff6ffa507c374e745df956a8adf25.png) ---
