What is daily downstream message volume?

All messages and status notifications received through the SDK count as downstream messages, including those sent via the Server API.

This includes but isn’t limited to:

  1. Messages received while online and offline messages received after coming online
  2. Historical messages retrieved from the RC Server—each retrieval counts as downstream
  3. Status and signaling notifications received through the SDK, such as:
    • Read receipts for one-to-one and group messages
    • Notifications for message recall, extension, or modification
    • Sensitive word callback status
    • Typing status notifications
    • Chatroom member status updates
    • Chatroom attribute settings and changes
  4. With multi-device login, if a message is received on two devices, the downstream count is 2
