Am I missing something or shouldn't it be 30/10/1? 30% use it monthly, 10% use it daily, and 1% is the max number of concurrent users.

In the article the last number is 10%, but it's stated as "the max number of concurrent users of a real-time service will be 10% of the number of daily users". Isn't the number of daily users just the previous 10%? Or is that the number of users that use it within a day (which would get another ~1% from the 30% monthly users plus a little bit more)?



10% of daily users which in turn are 10% of all users is the same as 1% of all users. 10% * 10% = 1%.
