hi there. If you have 100 users in a chat room, and 100 messages are added, does it cost you 10,000 (GET) + 100 (POST) function calls usage? convex is one of the best stacks I've used recently, but I'm concerned about these excessive charges.

1) I think the Answer is yes. I believe Firestore similarly charges per client.
2) that said, many in the community are waiting to see the new Scale plan pricing: https://discord.com/channels/1019350475847499849/1281660927564976199/1281694809068666940
3) the cache hit is a separate concept to function call count pricing. The cache is important for database bandwidth costs , I believe.
I’ll let convex team chime in to this question
thanks for clear answer Matt Luo! It was very helpful in understanding the convex billing structure. 👍
