You are charged for the number of distinct users who log in or refresh their token during the billing cycle using a third-party authentication provider (Clerk, Firebase Auth, Auth0, AWS Cognito). Each unique user is counted only once per billing cycle, regardless of how many times they authenticate. These users are referred to as "Third-Party MAUs".
Your billing cycle runs from January 1 to January 31. Although User-1 was signed in multiple times, they are counted as a single SSO MAU for this billing cycle.
