## Questions

### What counts as a play session?
One sitting, from opening your game to closing it. Autoplay bot runs don't count.

### What happens when my game goes viral?
On Indie and Studio, spike protection keeps a sudden rush from turning into a surprise bill. Once a month's overage reaches your plan's own price ($19 or $99), counting pauses and you get an email. It starts again when you choose to keep counting or set a cap, so no bill passes double your plan without your yes.

### Does it slow my game down?
No. The SDK does about 30 ns of work a frame and sends one small gzipped request every 15 seconds.

### What do you collect about my players?
By default, nothing that identifies them: no player IDs, no device fingerprints and no positions. You can turn on full mode for heatmaps and replays.

### Can I move from self-hosted to Glitchless Cloud?
Yes. Point the SDK at your cloud project's intake address and token. Nothing else in your game changes.
