Limits for concurrent users

Limits for concurrent users

To ensure the best experience for all our users in your organization, Explore dashboards containing live widgets have the following user limits:

The maximum number of concurrent users (users who can view an individual dashboard at the same time) for a live dashboard (or a dashboard containing live widgets) is 100.

If a user doesn't interact with a live dashboard for one minute and 30 seconds, it will time out and stop updating. Once the user starts to interact with the dashboard again, it will continue to update as long as there less than 100 concurrent users viewing the dashboard.

The session timeout applies to the slots available in the for maximum concurrent users. For example when a user's session times out, their concurrent user slot will be released for another user to take. When a user times out and returns to their live dashboard, if there is a concurrent user slot available, Explore will present the page to the user without any interruption.
