Anonymous accounts flooding auth users

[carmine lava]

Dear all,

I want to implement anonymous user access for my client-side site, however, I am aware that Appwrite has certain quotas around users (200K). Now, I noticed that every time a user visits the site, a new anonymous user is created and stays there as an anonymous user until it is converted to a real user. The problem here is that the stale anonymous users stay in the auth user list and are taking up user quota.

What is the best way to go about this? I like the idea of anonymous accounts to deter any unauthenticated api queries.

Appwrite limit goes only against monthly active users so most likely you’re fine. We still don’t enforce this, and will this metric to the dashboard in the near future

Thanks Eldad. I was getting worried because I had a teething issue with the code that started creating multiple anonymous users per session, and was worried that eventually I would hit this limit just by scaling. (even though the bug was resolved 🙂 )
