Every edit invalidates the previous review.
Potential deliveries assume every chosen subscriber is connected. Excludes presence churn, client events, state queries, taxes, other products, specialist support and contractual minimums. The worksheet does not assign a plan or calculate a charge.
Know what the offer includes.
Resolve fixed charges.
Confirm any base fee, included allowance, minimum, billing period and currency in the actual offer. Unknown prices remain unresolved, never zero.
Bring specialist requirements.
Choose the supported region for your app. Discuss additional capacity, support and security requirements when planning beyond the free preview.
DOCUMENTED OPERATING BEHAVIOR
Prepare the next observation.
The maintained connection lifecycle distinguishes reconnecting from recovering the application record. Fresh authorization, subscription success and a current-state read each have a job to do.
Read the recovery procedure ↗Keep the operating model clear.
Published volumes are planning dimensions.
The free preview includes 100 concurrent connections and 200,000 messages per day across the workspace. Paid-plan allowances start at 250 concurrent connections and 500,000 messages per day. Contact sales for current prices.
Make assumptions explicit.
A person may use several connections. Potential deliveries assume the selected audience is connected for every publication; actual traffic and commercial message counting require separate confirmation.

A few useful answers.
Is this a dollar estimate?
No. This is a workload worksheet. A current offer must supply rates, included units, limits and any fixed or specialist charges.
What is included in the free preview?
The free preview includes 100 concurrent connections and 200,000 messages per day across all of a workspace’s apps. Creating another app does not increase those limits.
